                     CONGRATULATING NICHOLE BERNIER

  Mr. KENNEDY. Madam President, I welcome this opportunity to extend my 
warmest congratulations to Nichole Bernier of Wellesley, MA, as she 
celebrates her fortieth birthday. Nichole is a truly remarkable woman--
a distinguished author, a community leader, a wonderful wife to her 
husband Tom, and a magnificent mother to her children Connor, Hadley, 
and Declan.
  Nichole has worked tirelessly for over a decade on a variety of 
charitable causes, including animal welfare, education, and cancer 
research. Through both her writing and her activism, Nichole has made 
an impressive difference in people's lives, especially those in need.
  Her service and dedication have meant a great deal to countless 
fellow citizens. It's a privilege to join her family and her many, many 
friends in congratulating her on this important milestone in her life, 
and I wish her many happy returns.
