            HONORING THE DEDICATED SERVICE OF DANIEL HARTER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BART GORDON

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 20, 2001

  Mr. GORDON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bid farewell to Daniel 
Harter, an intern with my office. Daniel has provided a unique 
perspective along with legal expertise as a member of my staff for the 
past three months, and became an invaluable resource.
  Daniel started with me shortly after completing law school, wanting 
to learn as much as possible about the workings and intricacies of 
Capitol Hill. Despite being confronted with challenges and pressures 
most would fold under, Daniel persevered and became a valued part of my 
Washington, DC, office.
  Like so many capable and hard working young congressional staff 
members, Daniel is moving on to work as an attorney. Although my staff 
and I are saddened to see him leave, Daniel's commitment to the legal 
process, his passion for public service, and his vigorous pursuit of 
perfection will serve his clients and his profession well.
  Daniel tackled every task head on, from helping with day-to-day 
operations, to aiding with the daunting legislation and constituent 
demands of post-September 11 life on the Hill. His contribution to our 
office and his work for the people of Middle Tennessee will be missed.
