                       COMMENDING MARGARET TYLER

  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, today, the Committee on Armed Services 
unanimously passed a committee resolution to express its appreciation 
to Margaret Tyler and to commend her for her many years of faithful and 
outstanding service to the men and women of the U.S. Army, to their 
families, and to the Senate of the United States.
  Margaret Tyler has worked for the Federal Government for 57 years. 
She has served 45 of those 57 years in the Army Liaison Office--38 of 
those years in the Army Senate Liaison Office.
  Through all those years, Mrs. Tyler has dedicated herself to helping 
those in need and in solving problems affecting the U.S. Army. She has 
always been professional, efficient, and effective in her work. Over 
the years, Senators and staff have learned that when they have a 
problem involving the Army the first step in solving the problem is 
calling Margaret Tyler. To many in the Senate family, she is 
affectionately known as the Army's Angel.
  The men and women of our Armed Forces deserve the best support and 
assistance we in Congress can give them. Day in and day out, for the 
past 45 years, Margaret has helped us support the men and women of the 
U.S. Army and their families to the best of her ability. Thousands of 
soldiers and their families have been touched by her dedicated, 
professional, and personal care.
  On behalf of all the members of the Committee on Armed Services, I 
ask unanimous consent that our committee's resolution commending 
Margaret Tyler on her service to the men and women of the U.S. Army, to 
their families, and to the Senate of the United States be printed in 
the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
