           IN HONOR OF PATRICIA CLARK FOR HER FEDERAL SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ANN M. KUSTER

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 26, 2017

  Ms. KUSTER of New Hampshire. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Patricia Clark as she retires after more than five decades of service 
to the Federal Aviation Administration at the Patricia Clark Boston Air 
Route Traffic Control Center in Nashua. The people of the Granite State 
and throughout New England owe a debt of gratitude to Patty for 
ensuring the safety of pilots and fliers, as well as continuing the 
efficiency of our transportation system. Further, it should be noted 
that Patty has maintained perfect attendance throughout her decades of 
service, never using vacation leave or a sick day.
  In 2013, during my first term in the U.S. House of Representatives, I 
was honored to have introduced legislation, H.R. 1092, that became law 
renaming the Nashua facility the ``Patricia Clark Boston Air Route 
Traffic Control Center.'' Renaming this facility after Patty was the 
very least that could be done to honor her accomplishments to the air 
traffic control industry here in New England. I am honored to be able 
to recognize Patty once again on the occasion of her retirement from 
federal service.

  On behalf of my constituents across New Hampshire's Second 
Congressional District, I thank Patricia Clark for more than half a 
century of dedicated service to the Granite State. Her achievements 
will continue to benefit our state and industry. I am honored to 
recognize and congratulate Patty on her retirement and wish her the 
best of luck in the years ahead.
