      HONORING THE SERVICE OF TRUDI TERRY, CHIEF CLERK OF DEBATES

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I am so pleased to rise today and 
extend my sincere thanks, on behalf of all of us, to a distinguished 
public servant, Chief Clerk of Debates Trudi Terry, that humble lady 
who sits behind us.
  After 15 years of serving the United States House of Representatives 
and the American people, it is with sadness that we see such a fine and 
dedicated public servant retiring.
  Trudi began her tenure in the House in 1999 as a transcriber in the 
Office of the Official Reporters. Her diligence and commitment to her 
duties saw her promoted to Chief Clerk of Debates in January of 2004.
  Trudi's outstanding contribution to the smooth running of this 
institution over the past decade has been substantial, and her warm 
demeanor will be missed by all of us who work in this Chamber.
  I will remember Trudi as a bubbly and energetic and warm personality 
who always went out of her way to help. I hope that Trudi enjoys the 
added time so she can now commit to her hobbies of attending the 
theater and bird-watching, much better than watching Members of the 
House.
  So I ask my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to join me in 
thanking Trudi Terry for all that she has done for all of us in the 
House of Representatives, and to truly wish her the best in the years 
to come.
  Congratulations, Trudi.
