    CONGRATULATING QUEEN P. (POLLY) NELSON FOR HER YEARS OF SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DALE E. KILDEE

                      Wednesday, February 15, 2012

  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join 
me in congratulating Queen P. (Polly) Nelson on her retirement from the 
Internal Revenue Service.
  Polly started her career in the federal government working with the 
U.S. Army where she handled monthly payroll checks. At one point she 
was in charge of mailing 30 thousand monthly salary checks for soldiers 
throughout the U.S. and overseas. After the Army she worked for 
numerous federal agencies including: Federal Highway Administration, 
Social Security Administration, and the U.S. Department of Housing and 
Urban Development's Federal Housing Administration where she briefly 
served in the Disaster Program.
  Ms. Nelson eventually made her way to the Internal Revenue Service 
where she faithfully served for over 34 years. She currently works in 
the Small Business/Self Employed (SB/SE) division where they provide 
small business owners with top quality service by educating and 
informing them of their tax obligations, developing educational 
products and services, and helping them understand and comply with 
applicable tax laws. Polly currently serves in the SB/SE division as an 
Audit Aide and Group Clerk/Secretary for the Examination division. She 
is responsible for assisting auditors in performing their duties as 
well as time input, assigning work, reports, filing, and numerous other 
essential daily duties. Through her 34 plus years she earned 12 manager 
and performance awards, and one Sustained Superior Performance Award. 
She is a testament to the dedication and superb performance of our 
public servants in all federal agencies.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate Queen P. (Polly) Nelson on 
her retirement beginning March 30, 2012. We are fortunate to have such 
a dedicated public servant in the Internal Revenue Service and I wish 
her well in her future endeavors.
