                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 26, 2009

  Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of a 
wonderful lady and a true Nebraska treasure. Today, Sally Gordon will 
be celebrating her 100th birthday in a place which has come to know and 
love her--The Nebraska State Capitol.
  Sally was the Nebraska Legislature's first female Sergeant-at-Arms 
when she was first hired in 1983--and she has been putting Nebraska 
lawmakers in their place ever since.
  In this day and age, such dedication to public service is rare and 
her amazing stamina has put many of her colleagues to shame over the 
years.
  She truly exemplifies the word ``elegant'' and I have been blessed to 
have had the opportunity to work with her during my time in the 
Nebraska Unicameral.
  Sally, may your force never diminish and your voice never fade.
  Happy Birthday.
