                       Friday, February 13, 2009

  Mr. BOYD. Madam Speaker, I rise today with mixed emotions to pay 
tribute to my departing Chief of Staff, Libby Greer. Libby has spent 
the last 7\1/2\ years with my office, where she has served as my 
trusted advisor, my right arm, and my friend.
  As people who know her will tell you, Libby has a knowledge of policy 
and a political acumen that have made her a compelling force. She has 
been a steadfast leader in both my office and within the Blue Dogs, 
while serving as a mentor to countless folks. Her contribution to my 
public service and commitment to the people of North Florida have made 
a lasting impression from Washington, D.C. all the way down to Florida.
  It is with immense gratitude that I thank Libby for her years of 
service and friendship. Words simply cannot express how much she has 
meant to me, to my family, and to my public service efforts for the 
past 7\1/2\ years. Today, I join my wife, Cissy, in wishing her much 
happiness and the best of luck in this new chapter of her life.
