         RECOGNITION OF THE DEPARTING KANSAS CONGRESSIONAL STAFF

                                 ______


                            HON. PAT ROBERTS

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 1994

  Mr. ROBERTS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to call attention to three 
special ladies, all of who have greatly contributed to the State of 
Kansas through their service on Capital Hill.
  By their kindness, professionalism and dedication, I came to know 
personally all three of these individuals: Ann Sullivan, Jo Jorgensen 
and Merry Tobin. All worked in Kansas congressional offices and part of 
the Kansas State Society, serving with me when I was both a Hill 
staffer and later a Member of Congress. Now they have joined the ranks 
of the retired, or so they say, to pursue new goals.
  Over time, each one has shown Congress true dedication, respect and a 
great love for the Big First District of Kansas. Be assured that any 
visitor to our office will always remember the care and kindness given 
by these women and their-in-depth knowledge of inner workings of 
Capitol Hill. They were a true example of Kansas hospitality at its 
finest.
  With more than 50 years of Hill service and thousands of episodes and 
antidotes between them, Capital Hill certainly miss the way in which 
these women did their jobs. With a heavy heart and great appreciation, 
I wish to publicly thank them for sharing their time with us and wish 
them only the best in their future endeavors. Each has made a 
difference on Capitol Hill. May future generations learn from their 
dedication and experience and may they enjoy their well-deserved years 
away from Congress as much as we enjoyed their time working with us.
