                       TRIBUTE TO REBECCA EYSTER

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, today, after more than 20 years of service 
to the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, Rebecca 
Eyster will retire. Rebecca is one of the official reporters of the 
debates and proceedings in this Chamber. She is one of the many 
dedicated employees who are essential to the daily operations of the 
Senate.
  For more than 12 years, Rebecca has been part of the team that 
produces a verbatim transcript of all of the Senate floor proceedings. 
Before that, Rebecca spent 8 years in the House of Representatives in a 
similar capacity. These jobs can be very demanding. When speeches and 
votes go late into the night, our dedicated reporters like Rebecca are 
always here. They produce a historical record about some of the most 
important legislative debates in our Nation's history.
  I am proud to have worked with Rebecca and appreciate her important 
contributions to the Senate. I know I speak for the Senate family as we 
wish you the best in your future endeavors.
