  Mr. GORDON of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor Drew 
Black for his service to Tennessee's Sixth Congressional District while 
working in my Washington, DC, office.
  Drew's good nature, sense of humor and dance moves have made him a 
wonderful addition to the office. During his time here, his thorough 
research and hard work have helped me to better serve my constituents 
in Middle Tennessee.
  Tuesday will be Drew's last day in the office before he returns to 
his home state of Indiana to begin an exciting job there. While Drew 
has enjoyed his time in the Nation's capital, his first love is the 
state of Indiana and, in particular, Hoosiers basketball.
  My staff and I will miss Drew. He is a big guy with a big heart, 
which we have admired

as he has volunteered time each week to work one-on-one with a DC youth 
through Horton's Kids. And we have seen his big heart whenever he talks 
about his first boss on the Hill, the late Rep. Julia Carson, and we 
have admired his unwavering loyalty to her.
  Drew, thank you for your help and dedication. I wish you all the best 
in the future.
