                        TRIBUTE TO MICHELE WYMER

  Mr. GRAHAM. Mr. President, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
recognizing Michele Wymer for her outstanding service to her country in 
her role on the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related 
Programs Subcommittee. Before Michele and her family leave for greener 
pastures, I wanted to express my appreciation and thanks for her 
service to the Senate.
  For the past five years, Michele has diligently worked on issues 
important to America's national security, including those mitigating 
the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS globally, providing security and 
stability through development assistance, and addressing the needs of 
refugees. She performed her duties in a professional manner, including 
conducting oversight on the ground in conflict areas such as Chad, 
Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. 
I know I speak for the subcommittee staff in saying that Michele will 
be missed not only for her good work and professionalism, but also for 
her good humor and compassion.
  I ask that the Senate join me in recognizing Michele's outstanding 
service and wishing her family a safe journey and an exciting new 
chapter in their lives.
