                    RECOGNIZING DIRECTOR GALE McCOY

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. EARL L. ``BUDDY'' CARTER

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 16, 2016

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. 
Gale McCoy and all of her accomplishments as Director of the Atlanta 
Passport Agency.
  Over the last 5 years, the Atlanta Passport Agency has assisted a 
copious amount of Americans with passport issuance for immediate travel 
since the agency opened in 2011. This year alone the Atlanta Passport 
Agency has helped more than 38,000 citizens.
  Director McCoy has worked with the Atlanta Passport Agency since its 
inception, providing a service which is important to residents across 
Georgia because, otherwise, Georgians would need to travel to New 
Orleans, Miami, or Washington, DC, to gain an urgent, new passport. In 
addition to her time working with the Atlanta Passport Agency, Director 
McCoy has worked for the U.S. Department of State in various other 
capacities for more than 30 years.
  Later this year, Mrs. McCoy will retire as the Director of the 
Atlanta Passport Agency. I rise today to recognize her effort and 
accomplishments in assisting U.S. Citizens and thank her for the 
service she has provided to many people in the First Congressional 
District of Georgia. I wish her the best with her future endeavors.
