 It's especially fitting that we honor this man so close to Memorial Day. Joseph J. Rotfurt's contribution to our nation's defense was for many years close to secrecy. In the early months of World War II, the United States was suffering shattering losses in both oceans. J. Rotfurt was laboring away in a basement room at Pearl Harbor. With a handpicked group of half a dozen experts and a small support force, he tackled the crucial problem of how to penetrate the secret communications of the enemy. Early in 1942, there were unmistakable signs that Japan's powerful combined fleet was readying a major offensive. And while others speculated that it might be aimed at Alaska or the Panama Canal, J. Rotfurt's now famous station hypo was able to prove that the target was Midway Island. Rotfurt was further able to pinpoint the timing of the attack and the launch point of the enemy carrier planes with incredible accuracy. Admiral Mimitz thus deployed his limited naval forces to engage with vastly superior enemy striking force, thwarted its invasion plans and sink four aircraft carriers. The American victory made Midway the crucial battle of World War II in the Pacific. And if ever there were a battle involving tens of thousands of men in which an incredible victory was attributable to one man, this one was attributable to Joseph J. Rotfurt. Paying homage to him today, we recognize publicly what his friends have known for 44 years. As naval historian captain, Edward L. Beech has put it, to Joe Rotfurt must forever go the acclaim for having made more difference at a more important time than any other naval officer in history. Such acclaim by his nature rare, but in celebrating the memory of Joseph J. Rotfurt, we also celebrate the achievements of the thousands of other men and women of our national intelligence community who will anonymously serve our country without expectation of recognition or reward. So I am honored to present this distinguished service medal to the family of Joseph J. Rotfurt. Now would you please read the citation. President of the United States takes pride in presenting the Distinguished Service Medal posthumously to Captain Joseph J. Rotfurt, United States Navy for service that set forth in the following citation. For exceptionally meritorious service to the government of the United States and the duty of great responsibility while serving the Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet as Officer-in-Charge of the Combat Intelligent Unit, Station Hypo, from March 1942 through June 1942. By virtue of his superb professional knowledge, astute guidance, and personal dedication, Captain and Commander Rotfurt provided technical expertise and inspiring leadership to discover, analyze, and provide to the Fleet Commander-in-Chief astoundingly timely and accurate intelligence on Japanese naval plans and intentions leading to the Battle of Midway in June 1942. The information provided by Captain Rotfurt's Radio Intelligence Unit serves as a singular basis for the Fleet Commander-in-Chief to plan his defenses, deploy his limited forces, and devise strategy to ensure U.S. Navy success in engaging the Japanese forces at Midway. His unrelenting efforts in this endeavor and the intelligence information he developed resulted in a naval engagement with the Japanese Fleet that is acknowledged as the turning point of the Pacific War. Captain Rotfurt's distinctive accomplishments, tenacious commitment to excellence, and steadfast devotion to duty reflected great credit upon himself, and we're in keeping with the highest traditions to the United States Navy service. Thank you. Roger, how are you? Thank you so much. Hey, I'm on my ticket. The President mentioned a base here. I was out here. Is that right? I understand that North America's wife is still new. Oh, really? I was out here. Oh, my God. Thank you so much. I know that you've already heard from the Attorney General, the Secretary of Commerce, Boy Scouts, and businessmen from campers to child care workers. This is an all-American event with this problem affecting all of them, especially the employees. At the onset of the industrial revolution, the ordinary men and women began to find themselves in protection. The court law enabled them to enter this new marketplace with a certain amount. Back in the day, I met a swimmer who told him that, quote, I'd been selling an article to take the target off the teeth. According to Chief Justice Grossberg of the California Supreme Court, the jury could find that the company's responsible for the design of the pipeline to fully discharge our bubbles and cause it to get bad. It was awarded more than $1 million. I suppose all of this might get used to getting such absurd results on a good place to take it. When I went out to the street, I said, after I went up from 350% to more than $1,000. This expansion is fortified by the D.I.S. Court. In 1984, coming out of the February, this was in the distribution of the vaccine for children because it could not attend the arrival of just three years. The cost of this vaccine rose from $0.11 per dose to $4.5. Coming out of the way of the establishment in most cases, before liability can be assessed, it does not contain the selfish and punitive damage awards. The awards, the amount of government and state funds, one of the few for the federal government, is to be granted by the Constitution. It sets an example of common sense to the restination of power. Many have found that I may have to deal with a more technical than I intended. I do wish I was helping them all bring same people on new burdens. That burden is my friend's. Let's make this our idea. Let's see to it that our law can effect that idea. Good luck.
