          RECOGNIZING MOLLY ORTEGA FOR HER LIFETIME OF SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 25, 2017

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Molly Ortega who is 
retiring after almost 35 years of federal service. Ms. Ortega has 
worked for decades at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the 
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to ensure these vital 
agencies have the resources and staff they need to keep us safe.
  Ms. Ortega has utilized her decades of agency experience and insights 
to improve the safety of civil aviation in our region. She provided 
support and guidance to the management team in the staffing and 
training of essential personnel at TSA, and prior to that she was 
employed at the FAA for nearly two decades, working in multiple 
positions. I am proud to have such dedicated civil servants in my 
community that set an example for future generations.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank Ms. Ortega for her dedication to 
the safety of travelers and passengers in our region. I congratulate 
her on a well-earned retirement and wish her luck in her future 
endeavors.
