        Representatives have demonstrated great expertise, dedication, 
        professionalism, and integrity in faithfully discharging the duties and 
        responsibilities of their positions;
Whereas legislative drafting is a lengthy, arduous, and demanding process 
        requiring a keen intellect, thorough knowledge, stern constitution, and 
        remarkable patience;
Whereas the staff of the Senate and House Offices of the Legislative Counsel, in 
        particular, Ruth Ann Ernst, John Goetcheus, Peter Goodloe, Edward G. 
        Grossman, Pierre Poisson, and James G. Scott, have performed above and 
        beyond the call of duty in drafting the Medicare Prescription Drug, 
        Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003; and
Whereas the Senate and House Offices of the Legislative Counsel have met the 
        legislative drafting needs of the Senate and the House of 
        Representatives with unfailing professionalism, exceptional skill, 
        undying dedication, and, above all, patience and good humor as the 
        Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 
        passed through the legislative process: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the sincere thanks of the Senate are hereby tendered 
to the staff of both the Office of the Legislative Counsel of the 
Senate and the Office of the Legislative Counsel of the House of 
Representatives for their outstanding work and dedication to the United 
States Congress and the people of the United States of America.
