                       Friday, February 28, 2014

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I am privileged to recognize the 
contributions of Mrs. Alice Geishecker to the United States House of 
Representatives and this great Nation upon the occasion of her 
retirement. Alice is a true American patriot with over 38 combined 
years of supporting Military members and families.
   Since September 2001, Mrs. Geishecker served as a Congressional 
Liaison Representative with the United States Air Force House Liaison 
Office. In this capacity, she was responsible for maintaining a 
continuous Air Force presence in the United States House of 
Representatives. Her primary role was to facilitate personal contacts 
between Air Force leaders, Members of Congress, key personnel and 
professional House staff. She monitored the ever-changing political 
environment on Capitol Hill to advise the Secretary of the Air Force 
and Chief of Staff of the Air Force. Alice was the primary focal point 
for administrative functions within the office to include all 
logistical support for events, Congressional member travel departures 
and arrivals, and movements of Senior Air Force Leadership within the 
Capitol complex. This endeared her to many Members of Congress and 
their offices.
   Prior to joining the Air Force Liaison Office in the House of 
Representatives, Alice worked as a contract employee in 1978 with 
University of Maryland at Camp Pieri, Wiesbaden, Germany and took her 
oath to federal service on July 5, 1989 working Family Support Services 
at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Alice also worked 
with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) liaison officers at the 
Army Command and General Staff College, Directorate of Combat 
Development, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas and various divisions within the 
acquisition community and with the Director of Manpower in the 
Pentagon.
   Alice had a varied and full civil servant career, but also served as 
a dedicated Army spouse to her husband Alan, a retired Lieutenant 
Colonel; loving mother to her three children, Cassie, Angela, and 
Jackie; and grandmother of eight.
   Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the entire United States Congress, it is 
an honor to recognize the career and service of Mrs. Alice Geishecker. 
My wife Vicki and I congratulate Alice and wish her and her family all 
the best.
