[[Page E832]]

the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management on 
the occasion of her departure from the Bureau's Office of Congressional 
Affairs.
  Ms. Haenny is ending her federal service to join her husband, Jeremy 
Haenny, a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, who was deployed three 
times to Afghanistan and recently transferred to the State of 
Washington.
  Ms. Haenny distinguished herself through exceptional service while 
serving as a Congressional Liaison for the Bureau's Office of 
Congressional Affairs. Many Members of this chamber and our staffs have 
had the pleasure of working with Ms. Haenny over her four-and-a-half 
years of service with the Bureau.
  Every day she provided key support for not only the Bureau and the 
Department of the Interior but also in assisting every Member of 
Congress and the constituents they serve. During her time in the 
Liaison office, Mrs. Haenny was instrumental in ensuring successful 
communication that kept Members of this body informed of the Bureau's 
activities in managing the nation's vital offshore energy resources, 
both renewable and conventional, in a way that ensures environmentally 
and economically responsible development. Her keen abilities in 
organization and interpersonal relationships were critical to the 
timely and successful communications with this body on the mission and 
program operations of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.
  I would like to express my deepest appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. 
Haenny for their exemplary service to our nation. I wish them safe 
travels and continued success in this new endeavor.
