                      Wednesday, December 10, 2008

  Mr. TERRY. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the accomplishments of 
Susan Feistner. Susie recently celebrated 10 years of service in my 
Omaha Congressional Office. She is a dedicated servant to the Second 
Congressional District of Nebraska. She works hard and deserves 
accolades.
  Susan Feistner serves as my Assistant District Director and Senior 
Constituent Liaison in my Omaha Congressional Office. Susie handles 
immigration issues, and this is no small task. Over the years, she has 
muddled through mounds of paperwork to find solutions for people and in 
many cases has reunited families, helped with adoptions of foreign-born 
children and obtained last-minute visas and passports. She has also 
referred people to attorneys for help in becoming legal citizens, and 
she has helped many constituents navigate through the tangle of U.S. 
Immigration laws. Her tireless service has made a difference in 
thousands of lives.
  Over the years, Susie has also been active in Republican Party 
politics and has worked for candidates up and down and the ballot. Her 
involvement in our political process is much appreciated by me and the 
many others she has supported. She has also been a steadying hand in my 
District Office and has acted as Molly Lloyd's deputy when needed. Her 
continuity has been a big plus for our staff.
  Susie, today I offer you a heartfelt thank you. Thank you for your 
dedication. I am extremely proud of your contributions over the past 10 
years. I am blessed to have such a professional and hard working 
individual on my team. Without your help and guidance, I would not be 
where I am today. It is a privilege and an honor to have you on my 
staff Thank you again.
