  Mr. GINGRICH. Mr. Speaker, it isn't often that someone can celebrate 
their 50th birthday and help pass a 4,000-page appropriations bill. Len 
Swinehart has been a hardworking, knowledgeable and effective member of 
the Speaker's staff. He has specialized in budget and appropriations 
issues and he has effectively represented the taxpayers of America. For 
the last two weeks Len has been immersed in monitoring the details of 
this massive $500 billion budget. Tonight he will be able to celebrate 
his first half century and a job well done. Happy birthday Len and 
thank you.
