E1350 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — Extensions of Remarks July 30, 2012 

In past tough economic conditions that 

caused layoffs and plant closings, Local 264 

rose to the challenge, working to advocate on 

behalf of its members. Their dedication to collective bargaining on behalf of members for 

fair wages and safe working conditions reflects 

a central idea that when employees are highly 

valued, they produce a high value work product. 

During its 75 year history, USW Local 264 

has produced key leaders in the International 

Union. The union and its leaders have always 

kept an eye on what tomorrow might bring, 

making sure that whatever changes come in 

the future, that members come first. It is this 

diligent work on behalf of the hundreds of 

members in the Twin Cities that has earned 

them this reputation, as well as a deserved 

place in the history of Saint Paul and Minnesota. 

Mr. Speaker, in honor of the 75th anniversary of the United Steelworkers Local 264, I 

am pleased to submit this statement for the 

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD in recognition of the 

hardworking men and women who are proud 

members of the union.

HONORING THE SERVICE OF CAPTAIN HUGH MICHAEL DOHERTY 

HON. EDWARD J. MARKEY OF MASSACHUSETTS

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Monday, July 30, 2012 

Mr. MARKEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 

honor and recognize the service of United 

States Navy Captain Hugh Michael Doherty. 

Captain Doherty was born in Medford, Massachusetts and graduated from Malden Catholic High School in 1961. After graduating high 

school, Captain Doherty began his service by 

earning a competitive appointment to the 

United States Naval Academy from my predecessor, Congressman Torbert MacDonald. 

After graduating from the Academy, Hugh was 

selected for the nuclear submarine service 

after an intensive and exhaustive interview 

program by Admiral Hyman G. Rickover. 

Captain Doherty devoted his life to serving 

our Nation on the seas. He served in five different submarines over 14 years, and was the 

Commanding Officer of the USS Sand Lance 

during the Cold War. Captain Doherty was 

recognized for his sacrifice and service to his 

country through the numerous medals and 

decorations that he received, including the Legion of Merit and the Meritorious Service 

Medal. 

During Captain Doherty’s 1984 ‘‘Change of 

Command’’ speech on the USS Sand Lance, 

he emphasized the importance of excellence. 

He told his officers, ‘‘Set your goals high, 

strive to achieve them, and then when you 

feel that you have almost attained them, set 

them higher. Never be satisfied with what you 

have accomplished.’’ Captain Doherty understood that hard work, perseverance, and dedication always paid off. During Captain 

Doherty’s thirty-eight months as commander of 

the USS Sand Lance, he led his fellow crewmembers to always strive for greatness in 

every aspect of life. 

Sadly, Captain Doherty passed away on 

May 20 at the age of 69. A devoted husband, 

a caring father, and a beloved grandfather, 

Captain Doherty is survived by his wife of 45 

years, Mary Pierce Doherty; his sons Sean, 

Matthew, and Timothy; his brothers John and 

Kevin; and his six grandchildren. For his honorable military career, Captain Doherty will be 

buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday, August 27, 2012. 

Mr. Speaker, today I honor the service and 

sacrifice of Captain Hugh Michael Doherty. 

We honor his life and his legacy. May God 

bless Captain Doherty and all our men and 

women in the United States Armed Forces. 

And God bless the United States of America.
