HONORING TED SHERRY
______
HON. CHARLES J. ``CHUCK'' FLEISCHMANN
of tennessee
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, December 20, 2011
Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great appreciation for a long and accomplished career of public service to honor Ted Sherry on his retirement from the Department of Energy in his role as Manager of the Site Office at the Y-12 National Security Complex. Ted served with great distinction in support of our country's national defense and nuclear security as a submarine officer in the U.S. Navy and for the last 5 years as manager of a National Nuclear Security Administration premier manufacturing facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Under his management, Y-12 has dramatically increased the dismantlement of components for nuclear weapons, supported Nuclear Nonproliferation Programs through uranium recovery missions around the globe, and opened the Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility, our nation's central repository for highly enriched uranium.
As a testament to Ted's many achievements, he earned the NNSA Administrator's Gold Medal Award and is widely regarded as one of NNSA's best managers. Ted has made many significant accomplishments throughout his 25 year career with the U.S. government and so today we proudly salute Ted Sherry, an American patriot.
