                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 28, 2005

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Christi Lehman in 
gratitude for her service, respect for her work, and congratulations on 
her promotion to Vice President at Connolly & Company.
  I am also personally indebted to Christi for her help in 2004. 
Christi handled media relations for me with an adept hand and a cool 
maturity. Her ability to generate new ideas and pitch them to the 
appropriate media is consistently rewarded with tremendous results.
  Brought on board as a media expert for Connolly & Company in 2002, 
Lehman excels in public relations through her creative approach and 
unique style. She has coordinated numerous media events and widely 
covered press conferences. Recently, she has focused on companies or 
individuals involved in litigation--ensuring their public image and 
message is protected and promoted.
  I am honored to recognize Christi Lehman on her promotion to Vice 
President at Connolly & Company. She is a gifted writer who understands 
the media, but most importantly, knows how to produce real results. I 
continue to appreciate her support on both a personal and professional 
level, as I congratulate Christi on her outstanding work.
