                   IN RECOGNITION OF DEDICATED STAFF

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Altmire) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. ALTMIRE. Mr. Speaker, on this last day of 2012, I want to take a 
moment to highlight the work of a number of hardworking Federal 
employees, people who serve with distinction, but often without the 
credit they deserve. All of us in the House have dedicated staff who, 
though unheralded, are committed to their country and the constituents 
they serve. Without them, we could never do our jobs, and I want to 
thank those who have worked for me over the past 6 years:
  Susan and Ed Anfinson, Lin Banks, Mark Perkins, Noel Warren, and the 
great George Greenfield. They were all shared employees that we shared 
with other offices. Then we have our full-time employees: Ben Barasky, 
Olivia Benson, Evan Brennan, Mike Butler, Julie Cain, Richard Carbo, 
Jennifer Dale, Nick Demicheli, Michelle Dorothy, Serronn Emerson, Jim 
Ferruchie, Dori Friedberg, Jesse Haladay, Angela Hayden, Kathleen 
Janoski, Carolyn Kahler, Rachel Kaufman, Erik Komendant, Jennifer 
Kraus, Chris Lombardi, Cody Lundquist, Greg Malinak, Caitlin Mathis, 
Stephanie Bone, Tess Mullen, Beth Newman, Bennett Reed, Nathan 
Robinson, Emily Schmitt, Mariel Schwartz, Abby Silverman, Lee Slater, 
Shannon Smith, Christina Stacey, P.J. Tabit, Alexandra Taylor, Nikki 
Tesla, Randy Stapleford and John Galanski--the two best veteran 
constituent service reps you could ever want--Sharon Werner, Rachael 
Heisler, and Cara Toman.
  Mr. Speaker, all of them were loyal to the district, and I read their 
names into the Record to thank them for their service and loyalty to 
me, but especially for their service to the district.
