              RECOGNIZING THE RETIREMENT OF JULIE HARWOOD

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL K. SIMPSON

                                of idaho

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 8, 2016

  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the retirement of 
Julie Harwood. Julie has dedicated her career to public service, 
serving constituents in Idaho for 23 years, 3 months and 2 days.
  Julie began her career with Senator James McClure, a man who served 
our great state well and one whom I've always admired. She has worked 
for Senator Dirk Kempthorne, before I was lucky enough to have her join 
my team on August 1, 2003.
  There are people who call our office and will only talk to Julie. She 
treats people with kindness, respect and always helps them find the 
answer they are seeking--which is often not an easy task.
  Over the years, Julie has touched so many lives, it is impossible to 
name them all. However, Kathy, myself, and my entire staff will miss 
her greatly.
  Congratulations Julie. I have a feeling you will be busy, but I hope 
you are not a stranger and please know you will always be part of Team 
Simpson.
