I am Howard Dew, a United States Army and Army Reserves Veteran, and I
            served at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA’s)

            Greenbelt Space Flight Center (GSFC).  I worked as an Electrical Engineer
            and Aerospace Technologist.  I served overseas in the Army Signal Corps for
            four years as a Communications Officer during the Vietnam era.  I then stayed

            in the Army Reserve for 10 years assigned to Fort Meade.  My position at
            GSFC was as a satellite ground systems engineer for 31 years.  My combined
            military and federal service spanned 35 years.  In the Army, I was the Officer

            In Charge of the U.S. European Command Headquarters Telecommunications
            Center in Stuttgart, Germany, and then became Operations Officer for the
            252nd Signal Company in Neu Ulm, Germany.  At NASA, I supported over
            20 spacecraft for launch preparation, post launch telemetry data capture and

            storage, spacecraft command processing and science data processing.  I also
            created the Development Test and Training Facility at GSFC for antenna
            signal processing upgrades to the Space Network’s White Sands Complex

            located in Las Cruces, New Mexico.  I retired from NASA the year of the last
            Space Shuttle mission, which I supported.  For both Army and NASA
            assignments, I controlled multi-million dollar assets and oversaw contractors
            and civil servants while doing so.  Basically I have served this country my

            entire professional career first as an active duty officer, then as a reserve
            officer and then as a public servant.  I am proud of my contribution to this
            Nation.



            I am Sajjad Durrani and I served at the National Aeronautics and Space
            Administration (NASA) from 1974 to 1992.  As an Engineer, prior to joining

            federal service, I had taught at universities in Pakistan and the United States,
            and worked in private industry for more than 20 years. At NASA, I split my
            time between Goddard Space Flight Center and Headquarters.  At Goddard, I

            helped develop the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS), which reduced
            the cost of data collection from several Earth Observation Satellites.  At
            Headquarters, I supported research projects at several NASA Centers, which

            helped the communications industry in providing services at reduced cost to
            consumers.  I currently serve as Co-chair for the Resolutions Committee for
            the Maryland Federation of the National Active and Retired Federal

            Employees Association (NARFE).


            I am Mary K. Shifflett and I served in the National Aeronautics and Space
            Administration/Goddard Space Flight Center for 42 years.  Most of my career
