 IN HONOR OF MOLLY SALMI AND HER 25 YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE 
             HOUSE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION AND THE WORKFORCE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOHN KLINE

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 10, 2013

  Mr. KLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Molly Salmi for her 
25 years of dedicated service to the House Committee on Education and 
the Workforce--and the American people.
  Molly Salmi, who joined the Committee as a Staff Assistant, has 
continued to advance through the ranks to her current position as 
Deputy Director of Workforce Policy thanks to her unparalleled 
professionalism and extensive knowledge of the policies that affect 
literally every working American.
  Molly personifies the best qualities of public service--demonstrating 
tireless enthusiasm and an unyielding commitment to sound public 
policy. Beyond her contributions to policy, Molly has invested in the 
lives of countless young staffers and interns, offering advice, 
guidance, and direction, while setting an example of decorum and grace.
  Molly's great work through the years has earned her the respect of 
seven separate Committee Chairmen--Republicans and Democrats alike--as 
well as her colleagues on both sides of the aisle, which is no small 
feat in a world too often mired in partisan posturing.
  For all of the above--and so much more--Molly is more than a trusted 
colleague: she is an invaluable member of our committee family.
