                   TRIBUTE TO COMMANDER KATHY FELGER

  Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize Commander Kathy Felger, a 
congressional affairs fellow for the U.S. Coast Guard on the U.S. 
Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, for all of 
the hard work she has done for me, my staff, and other Members of the 
Committee over the past 2 years.
  A native Hoosier, Commander Felger graduated from the U.S. Coast 
Guard Academy in 1997. Since that time she has held various positions 
in the Coast Guard, most of them at sea as a ship driver. She will next 
serve as commanding officer of Thetis, a Famous class cutter, based out 
of Key West, FL with the primary missions of law enforcement, search 
and rescue, homeland security, and national defense.
  I would like to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to 
Commander Felger for all of the fine work she has done and for her 
continued service to our Nation. I wish her continued success in the 
years to come.
