     IN HONOR OF ESSIE COLBERT'S DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE HOUSE OF 
                            REPRESENTATIVES

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. JOSEPH P. KENNEDY II

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 4, 1997

  Mr. KENNEDY of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Ms. 
Essie Colbert on the occasion of her retirement on June 3, 1997, after 
18 years of service to the U.S. House of Representatives. Essie Colbert 
works tirelessly during late night shifts cleaning congressional 
offices, including mine, with admirable attention to detail.
  Walking into the office each morning, I inevitably notice how much 
pride Essie Colbert takes in her work. I have never been disappointed 
in her performance. I am, however, disappointed that she will be 
leaving us. My staff and I wish her a most relaxing and rewarding 
retirement.
