                        TRIBUTE TO MATTHEW HOLT

  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, I rise today to speak about Matt Holt, who 
has served the Senate with distinction for 25 years. As a benefits and 
retirement counselor and deputy for employee benefits and financial 
services in the Senate Disbursing Office, Matt Holt has committed his 
talents and energy to serving Senators and staff for over two decades.
  His career here in the Senate has been exemplary. He is not only 
hardworking and dedicated but also friendly, helpful, and patient. He 
always takes the time to fully answer our questions, and he has become 
a tremendous resource for the Senate Disbursing Office.
  Matt is truly an asset to the Senate, and all of us here in the 
Senate community are grateful for his outstanding dedication and hard 
work. An avid outdoorsman, Matt is looking forward to spending time 
fishing, camping, and hiking with his wife Jeanne and his children 
Jessica and Ben. He leaves with our appreciation and best wishes for a 
happy and relaxing retirement. He certainly has earned it.
