                       Wednesday, April 22, 2009

  Mr. COSTA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the 
distinguished service of Eva Plascencia. After 30 years with the 
Internal Revenue Service, she continues to dedicate herself to her 
career of service.
  Eva was born in Clovis, California on September 25, 1956 to Roy 
Woodley and Juanita Tovar. She graduated from James Logan High School 
in Union City, California in 1974. In 1979, she married Robert T. 
Plascencia and their marriage blessed them with three daughters. She is 
most proud of the fact that all of her children have earned college 
degrees. Personally, Eva enjoys arts and crafts, sewing and spending 
time with her grandson Joshua Diego Ojeda.
  Mrs. Plascencia began her career with the Internal Revenue Service on 
January 17, 1978 as a Career Conditional Appointment Clerk--GS03. Since 
then Eva has worked hard to advance into many different positions and 
levels within the IRS. Her commitment to learning new policies, honing 
her skills, and taking on new challenges provided her the opportunity 
to progress on a yearly basis within the Service. Her most recent 
positions where in 1998 when she was promoted into Accounting and in 
2006 when she moved into the Collections department as a GS8.
  Throughout her career at the Internal Revenue Service, Mrs. Eva 
Plascencia is well known for her hard work ethic and determination. As 
she celebrates her 30 years of service, I wish her continued success 
and good luck in all her future endeavors.
