                 TRIBUTE TO LEFFRICH ``TIM'' MAYO, SR.

  Mr. SESSIONS: Mr. President, today I wish to say goodbye to one of 
the great members of the staff of this institution, Leffrich ``Tim'' 
Mayo, an exceptional individual with a deep devotion to the Senate, who 
retired from service on December 3, 2015, after over 35 years of 
service.
  Tim, who some called ``Mayo'', began working at the U.S. Capitol in 
May of 1979 as a bus boy in the Senators dining room on the 
recommendation of a friend, the late Lawrence Green. Following that 
position, he held many positions in the Russell Building coffee shop, 
Senate labor division, and finally in the Architect of the Capitol's 
furniture division.
  Tim really enjoyed working with Senators and their staff. He was 
exceptional at finding the perfect pieces of furniture that would fit 
the needs of Members and staff alike. If he knew you were looking for 
something in particular, he would search the warehouses until he found 
it. He knew every office and their styles and needs.
  Tim would always greet you with a smile and a big hello. He was 
willing to help others no matter what the task or situation. Nothing 
was too challenging or difficult for him. He got great pleasure out of 
meeting new staff, visitors, and people from all over the world.
  We will all miss Tim's smiling face and eager assistance in the Halls 
of the Senate, but also wish him the best as he moves on to bigger and 
better things in his retirement. Thank you, Mayo.
