                      Thursday, December 10, 2015

  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my 
Legislative Director, Jason Herbert, and his wife, Erin Kathleen 
Herbert, on the birth of their daughter, Blakely Elizabeth Herbert.
  Blakely was born at 2:17 p.m. on Sunday, December 6, 2015. Miss 
Blakely weighed in at a perfect 7 pounds and 10 ounces.
  As my Legislative Director, Blakely's father, Jason, has been key to 
my legislative operation. Jason's stalwart attention to details, and 
his remarkable ability to stay alert during long and late night Rules 
Committee hearings and floor debates will serve him well as a father.

  My entire staff has awaited this good news with eager anticipation of 
Jason and Erin becoming parents. Blakely is fortunate to have such a 
loving father and mother.
  Congratulations and best wishes to Jason and Erin and their entire 
family on this wonderful addition.
