                       TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL FLEAGLE

  Mr. SULLIVAN. Mr. President. I would like to say a few words about a

[[Page S2259]]

former member of my staff, Mike Fleagle, who has recently left my 
office and, unfortunately for Alaska, accepted a job in Colorado.
  Mike was one of the very first people to join my team when I took 
office in 2014. I lured Mike away from his great job as the facilities 
maintenance supervisor for Alaska's largest city and was honored that 
he wanted to join me in serving our fellow Alaskans.
  When you meet Mike, it doesn't take long to see the thoughtfulness 
and kindness by which he lives his life and treats others. He has a 
can-do attitude and an incredible knowledge base for so many important 
issues for Alaskans: aviation, rural affairs, transportation, energy, 
and subsistence. He brought to our office a trove of knowledge about 
hunting and fishing that he obtained in his 14 years of experience as 
chairman and member of Alaska's Board of Game and the Federal 
Subsistence Board, in addition to being a lifelong outdoorsman.
  Mike was a true pleasure to have on the team. He loves Alaska and 
that always showed in the excellent quality of his work. Mike loves to 
hunt, fish, and hike, and he loves his family and is a devoted husband 
and father.
  We will miss Mike very much, and I am very grateful for the time he 
spent in my office helping Alaskans.
