   EXPRESSING THANKS TO KRISTIE JOHNSON GREGORY FOR EXEMPLARY SERVICE

  (Mr. BARROW asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BARROW. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my thanks to Kristie 
Johnson Gregory, who is moving on from my staff after 7 years of 
service to accept the position of special populations coordinator at 
Augusta Technical College. Kristie started as an intern in my office 
back in 2005, and she quickly rose up the ranks to serve as a senior 
constituent services representative.
  Every Congressman knows just how important it is to have good staff, 
and Kristie is the kind of staffer that you need. Kristie and our 
district staff recovered some $3.7 million in benefits wrongfully 
withheld from families back home in just the last year alone, and 
there's no telling how many homes she helped rescue from the brink of 
foreclosure. When you add it all up, her record is reflected in the 
thank you letters of grateful constituents and the appreciation of this 
Congressman for a job well done.
