                       RECOGNITION OF ACHIEVEMENT

  Mr. ASHCROFT. Mr. President, I rise today to extend appreciation to 
Heather Oellermann for her service as an intern in my office during the 
Spring of 1998. Heather set the highest standard of excellence on a 
project undertaken by my Operations Team.
  Since I was elected in 1994, my staff and I have made an oath of 
service, commitment, and dedication. We dedicate ourselves to quality 
service. America's future will be determined by the character and 
productivity of our people. In this respect, we seek to lead by our 
example. We strive to lead with humility and honesty, and to work with 
energy and spirit. Our standard of productivity is accuracy, courtesy, 
efficiency, integrity, validity, and timeliness.
  Heather has not only achieved this standard, she set a new standard 
on the project she was given. She exemplified a competitive level of 
work while maintaining a cooperative spirit. Her performance truly was 
inspiring to my entire office. It is with much appreciation that I 
recognize Heather's contribution to me and my staff in our effort to 
fulfill our office pledge and to serve all people by whose consent we 
govern.
