Mr. KEATING. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Captain Scott Langum, Commanding Officer of Air Station Cape Cod as he is relieved of duty.

He earned a Master of Public Administration from the University of South Alabama, and a Master in Strategic Studies from the U.S. Army War College. He married Carmen Harder, also from Colfax, and have two daughters, Kendall, and Paige.
After graduating in 1993, Captain Langum's career began with his first operational tour aboard the USCGC Sundew (WLB-404) in Duluth, MN. He later served as the Aids to Navigation Officer for the Greater Antilles Section of San Juan, PR. Additionally, Captain Langum served as Commanding Officer, U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Houston TX.
As Chief of the Future Operations Division, Captain Langum was responsible for coordinating mission efforts for the Defense Support of Civil Authorities, Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear response, Combating Transnational organized crime, Theater Security Cooperation, Personnel Recovery and Search and Rescue. In addition to these responsibilities, Captain Langum went on to serve as the Military Liaison to the United States Senate, where he was responsible for facilitating the Coast Guard's congressional engagements. After an impressive career, he is retiring from his final post as Commanding Officer of Air Station Cape Cod.
Captain Langum has received the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Distinguished Flying Cross, three Meritorious Service Medals, two Commendation Medals, and three Achievement Medals. We thank him for his service and wish him the best in his retirement.
