  (Mr. STAUBER asked and was given permission to address the House for

  Mr. STAUBER. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to stand here today and 
congratulate Major General Jon Jensen of the Minnesota National Guard 
on his recent nomination to become the next Director of the Army 
National Guard.
  Major General Jensen is a proven leader with an extraordinary record 
of

service to the great State of Minnesota and our Nation.
  Currently, Major General Jensen serves as the adjutant general of the 
Minnesota National Guard, meaning that he is the highest ranking 
guardsman in our State. Major General Jensen has also held numerous 
other leadership positions during his 37 years with the National Guard.
  Throughout his entire career, Major General Jensen has served with 
the highest level of dedication. His service has earned him the respect 
of the public; countless government officials; and, most importantly, 
his fellow guardsmen.
  On behalf of the entire State of Minnesota, I thank Major General Jon 
Jensen for his service and congratulate him on this well-deserved 
nomination.
  Major General Jensen's rich experience makes him the perfect fit for 
the position, and I look forward to seeing him confirmed by the United 
States Senate soon.
