                         HONORING CHELSEA BROWN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JEB HENSARLING

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 21, 2013

  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, today I thank Chelsea Brown for her 
years of service to me, my constituents, the House Republican 
Conference, the House Committee on Financial Services, and the United 
States Congress.
   Chelsea is one of the most dedicated and loyal people I've had the 
honor of having on my staff since I was elected to Congress. Few, if 
any, individuals devoted more hours of their life to my legislative 
career and to the service of my constituents.
   Chelsea joined my staff as a scheduler and office manager in January 
of 2007. As my colleagues appreciate, the job of a congressional 
scheduler is one of the most challenging assignments on the Hill. 
Throughout the years, Chelsea's proactive nature and attention to 
detail allowed me to maximize both my effectiveness as a legislator and 
my ability to spend more time with my family.
   My children, Claire and Travis, can attest to the asset that Chelsea 
was to my team. She went out of her way to make my family feel welcome 
when they visited my office in Washington each summer, and I have no 
doubt that Claire and Travis will fondly remember how ``Miss Chelsea'' 
made visiting their dad's office such an enjoyable experience.
   Because of her excellent work in my personal office, I asked Chelsea 
to join my staff at the House Republican Conference when I served as 
Chairman, and asked her to come along again when I became Chairman of 
the House Financial Services Committee. Regardless of the task at hand, 
Chelsea could always be trusted to get the job done, no matter what. 
Her strong character, discretion, and work ethic have made her an asset 
to me over the last six years. I can assure you that she will be sorely 
missed.
   Chelsea, thank you for your service and dedication to the cause of 
individual liberty, and thank you for being such an invaluable member 
of my team. I wish you the best of luck in your future personal and 
professional endeavors.
