One of the three achievement awards in the national competition for 1972 sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers was awarded to NAL at a dinner in Chicago on Thursday, November 2, 1972. The Award of Merit in the Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement for 1972 was presented by Charles W. Yoder, National president-elect of the ASCE to NAL Deputy Director Edwin L. Goldwasser. Dr. Goldwasser paid tribute to the DUSAF firms which had performed many of the architectural and engineering services which led to the award. "We insisted that our structures perform better than their specifications and that they were esthetically pleasing," he said. "All of this they accomplished and always with understanding and good humor. Our thanks go to the ASCE for recognizing this work and to DUSAF and the contractors for performing it. Our special gratitude goes to William Alexander, Project Director of DUSAF and Parke Rohrer, Project Manager, for the magnificent job they did."
