                       Wednesday, April 18, 2012

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, Captain Kyleanne Hunter 
served in the office of the Second District of South Carolina as a 
Military Fellow from January December 2010. After leaving our office, 
she served in the Marine Corps Liaison office on Capitol Hill. In the 
coming months, Captain Hunter plans to serve in a Reserve unit with the 
U.S. Marine Corps while attending graduate school at the University of 
Denver. She has been accepted into the very competitive Sie Fellows 
Program which will further her education in international studies.
  Throughout her service, she consistently demonstrated her expertise 
and knowledge by providing timely and accurate information to the 
Congressional Members and their respective staffs. Captain Hunter was a 
vital asset for all matters relating to the Marine Corps in the House 
of Representatives. Members and staffers alike respected and trusted 
Captain Hunter's straightforward and dependable assistance. Her 
forthrightness and knowledge were key attributes in maintaining the 
Marine Corps' superb relationships with the many Members of the House 
of Representatives.
  Throughout her tour, Captain Hunter personally responded to, or 
supervised hundreds of congressional inquiries, some of which gained 
national level attention. Through her exceptional inter-personal skills 
and broad knowledge in a wide range of military affairs,

she assisted the Director, Marine Corps Liaison Office, in gaining the 
Members' support and trust on critical issues.
  Captain Hunter successfully planned, coordinated, and escorted an 
extensive number of international and domestic trips for Congressional 
and Staff Delegations. I had the pleasure of attending one such CODEL 
which Captain Hunter helped organize for the House Democracy 
Partnership to the Kyrgyz Republic. Her attention to detail and 
anticipation of requirements allowed our CODEL to focus on fact-finding 
and learning new information, which helped to guide critical decisions 
to support the people of the United States.
  Through her exceptional personal efforts, Captain Hunter has 
contributed immeasurably as a member of my staff and also in the Marine 
Liaison Office here on Capitol Hill. I wish her well in all of her 
future endeavors. I look forward to hearing of her many future 
successes.
