  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, public service is the most honorable 
profession when it is done honestly and well. Anne E. Kearns epitomizes 
the public servant who has served honestly and well for the citizens in 
the New York City area.
  She has lived all of her life in New York and for the past 20 years 
has worked for the Federal Government. Her duties in that time included 
working in the security and engineering departments of the Veteran's 
Administration Hospital in the Bronx and working at the New York 
Maritime College where she provided support services to uniformed 
members of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. She also made significant 
contributions to the efficient operation of the Naval Reserve Officers 
Training Corps.
  Anne Kearns is the consummate public servant who embodies the highest 
ideals of government service. I am proud to congratulate her on her 
retirement. We are losing a distinguished public servant.
