                          RECOGNITION OF STAFF

  Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, I would also like today to recognize the 
efforts of my staff in my personal office and State offices, who help 
me each day in responding to the needs of 12 million Pennsylvanians and 
countless other Americans who write, call or visit. I have long said 
that I believe I have the best staff in the Senate, and I want to 
convey my appreciation publicly for the work they do on behalf of the 
taxpayers.
  Thus, as the work of the 105th Congress comes to a close, I extend my 
thanks to David Urban, Gretchen Birkle, Molly Birmingham, Kristin 
Bodenstedt, Jane Brattain, David Brog, Mark Carmel, Allison Cooper, 
Juliette Cox, Alli DeKosky, Aura Dunn, Jeff Gabriel, Cathy Gass, David 
Grindel, Peter Grollman, Patricia Haag, Andrea Haer, Alegra Hassan, 
Kevin Mathis, Pam Muha, Anthony Pitagno, Dan Renberg, Charlie Robbins, 
Jill Schugardt, Mary Louise Sinclair, Seema Singh, Erin Streeter, Jim 
Twaddell, John Ullyot, Ron Williams, and Chris Wilson of my Washington 
office.
  Similarly, I appreciate the efforts of my Pennsylvania-based staff, 
which includes Ken Braithwaite, Mary Clark, Anthony Cunningham, Patty 
Doohan, Kenny Evans, Carmen Santiago, Banita Sharma, Gil Stein, Bella
