                        TRIBUTE TO LINDA JACKSON

 Mr. BURNS. Mr. President, it is my privilege to honor a very 
special lady for her years of work on behalf of the citizens of this 
country. Linda Jackson was an employee of the U.S. Government for 39 
years. Since she was 18 years old, Linda has been offering a helping 
hand to Americans. She started her career in civil service with the 
U.S. Navy. She then moved on to the Air Force, working in Japan during 
the Vietnam war. After her return stateside, Linda worked for a time 
for the U.S. Postal Service. For the last 29 years, she has been an 
employee of the Social Security Administration. I have personal 
knowledge of Linda's dedication and commitment not only to her 
profession but more importantly to the citizens she worked for. When 
Linda retired on June 3, 2002, this Nation lost a very dedicated and 
caring public servant. Thank you, Linda Jackson, for your service to 
our country.
