                       REMEMBERING GLENN DOCKHAM

 Mr. SANDERS. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Glenn A. Dockham of Milton, VT.
  Glenn lived a life of service. He was a Peace Corps volunteer, a U.S. 
Customs officer, and the president of the National Treasury Employees 
Union--NTEU--Chapter 142. It was in his capacity as a labor leader that 
my staff and I had the pleasure of working with Glenn and came to 
greatly respect his perspective. I am proud to have called on his 
perspective on a number of occasions to discuss important labor issues. 
During one occasion, when I organized a panel to discuss labor concerns 
at the Department of Homeland Security, Glenn provided valuable 
insights as the voice at the table representing NTEU members. At this 
time, the Department of Homeland Security was still a relatively new 
agency, and Glenn helped us to fight for the needs of his members.

  I have always considered Glenn a fair and trusted voice in the labor 
movement and a tireless advocate for Federal employees. I was grateful 
for his leadership and the commitment that he demonstrated throughout 
his career. He set an excellent example in his professional life.
  In addition to his work, family was very important to Glenn. He 
leaves behind his wife, Lisa, and his two children, Marcy and Tim. He 
considered his greatest accomplishment to be raising his children. I 
have no doubt he set an equally powerful example of hard work, 
kindness, and service for them and others in his life.
  Please join me in honoring the life and legacy of Glenn 
Dockham.
