Malcolm Baldrige
National Quality Award Ceremony
April 19, 2006
Remarks by Robert E. McGough
Chief Executive
Officer/President
DynMcDermott Petroleum Operations Company
Vice President Cheney,
Secretary Gutierrez, members of the Baldrige Family, distinguished guests
and fellow recipients; it is with great pride that I accept this award
on behalf of DynMcDermott Petroleum Operations Company. We are here today
because of the commitment and dedication to Performance Excellence by
the employees of DynMcDermott and support from the Department of Energy
and DynMcDermott's shareholder companies; Computer Science Corporation,
McDermott International, Jacobs Engineering and International Matex Tank
Terminals.
I would like to take
a moment to recognize several individuals who are in attendance today:
Chuck Tolleson of
DynMcDermott who led our quest for excellence.
Assistant Secretary
of Energy for Fossil Energy John Shages and Mr. Hoot Gibson, DOE Project
Manager for the SPR in New Orleans who supported our efforts.
Mr. Donald Craigie
of Computer Sciences Corporation and Mr. Jamie Coleman President of IMTT.
All the employees
of DynMcDermott both here and at home, my wife Paula and son Matthew who
are in attendance today.
We work hard at performance
improvement, always looking ahead, finding and overcoming the next challenge.
The Baldrige culture is DM's culture.
DMs superb performance
during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita is but one example of our can do attitude.
Our employees responded to our call at great personal expense to themselves,
giving unselfishly even though many lost their homes and all their worldly
possessions. Within 72 hours of Katrina striking the Gulf Coast, 100 percent
of our employees called in and asked only "when and where do I report
for work".
Let me close by congratulating
the other recipients and thanking the National Institute of Standards
and Technology, and all those who bestowed this great honor on DM, the
SPR and the great states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. God Bless
America.
