  Mr. GONZALEZ. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
recognizing Mrs. Petra ``Pat'' Pena who is retiring after a 34 year 
career with the United States Marshals Service.
  Throughout her tenure with the Marshals Service, Mrs. Pena worked as 
a member of the finance department. As a result of her exceptional 
work, she received the distinguished honor of serving as Administrative 
Officer Mentor for Guam. Throughout her tenure with the Marshals 
Service, she displayed leadership, professionalism and dedication.
  She ends her career as a public servant, while continuing the chapter 
of her personal life as a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She has 
been married to her husband Daniel for 31 years, and they have three 
children and two grandchildren. Please join me in recognizing her 
career of distinguished service and contribution to our great country.
