Richard went on to become a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Connecticut. once again with Army assistance. and then he completed extensive course work at the Johns Hopkins University School of International Studies. Through our years on Foreign Operations. I have come to know Richard Collins as a dedicated professional who truly cares about people. Accordingly. he spends a lot of time viewing first hand the implementation of the programs we discuss in committee and here in the Senate. It was common to find Richard at a refugee camp on the Cambodian border investigating medical and educational assistance to Cambodian and Vietnamese children. Or to find him in the remote provinces of the Philippines discussing economic development with community leaders. Now that he is working with the Defense Subcommittee.
