  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to pay tribute to David 
Kamenshine and thank him for his work as a Passport Services Agent with 
Northeast Passport Agency. His years of commitment and dedication as a 
public servant is certainly commendable and worthy of recognition 
before this body of Congress and this nation today. Along with my 
fellow Americans, I am grateful for all that he has accomplished during 
his years of service.
  David Kamenshine started working for the United States federal 
government in 1969 with the Defense Department. Twenty years later, in 
October of 1989, he moved over to the Department of State, Bureau of 
Consular Affairs, Passport Services at the Northeast Passport Center in 
New York City. David diligently served his employer and was transferred 
to the New York Passport Agency in February of 1994 when the Northeast 
Passport Agency was merged into the New York Passport Agency. David has 
held several positions during his time with Passport Services, each 
time dedicating himself to providing the very best service for 
traveling customers. He assumed his current position as Customer 
Service Manager in 1996.
  During my tenure in the United States Congress, David provided 
exceptional service to constituents of the 3rd Congressional District 
of Colorado. He worked hard to ensure that inquiries on behalf of my 
constituents submitted to the Northeast Passport Agency were addressed 
in a timely and thorough manner. David routinely demonstrated a 
willingness to assist beyond the standard response, demonstrating a 
genuine concern for the constituent while upholding the policies of the 
Northeast Passport Agency.
  Mr. Speaker, it is clear that David Kamenshine has been an invaluable 
resource to many Americans. It is my honor to recognize his service and 
dedication before this body of Congress and this nation. I am grateful 
for the opportunity to work with devoted public servants like David. On 
behalf of the citizens that have benefited from the hard work and 
commitment he has given to the Northeast Passport Agency and 
constituents it serves, I extend my appreciation for his years of 
enthusiastic service.
