                      BEST WISHES TO LAURA SCHLOSS

                                 ______


                         HON. JAMES L. OBERSTAR

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 29, 1996

  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, on June 5, 1996, Laura Schloss, staff 
assistant on the Democratic staff of the Committee on Transportation 
and Infrastructure, will be leaving the committee to pursue the study 
of law.
  Although Laura has been with the committee only a short time, she has 
gained the respect and admiration of all. Things can get hectic in the 
front office of the largest legislative committee in the House, and 
Laura's contributions and organization skills have helped to make a 
difference.
  Laura joined the committee staff after having served a 6-month stint 
with the office of then-Congressman Norman Y. Mineta. There, she 
assisted with mail operations, including the composition of constituent 
response letters, answered telephones, and provided help where needed.
  Laura is a 1994 honors graduate of Princeton University, where she 
majored in political science. She is also an avid runner, having 
recently been a member of the Enclave, a Reebok-sponsored team.
  On behalf of the Democratic members and staff of the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure, I want to recognize Laura and offer 
our heartfelt gratitude for her service on the committee and to wish 
her well in her future endeavors.
