                  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SHERRY A. MITCHELL

  (Mr. MITCHELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. Speaker, today, May 7, is my wife's birthday. It 
may seem like a small thing to many, but it is hard to describe the 
sacrifice and commitment that it takes to be the spouse of someone who 
serves in government--the additional things she takes on when Dad is 
not home, the fun and games when the school calls, or the text message 
you get: Where did you leave whatever? I need to find it.
  So, today, I want to briefly say to my spouse, to Sherry: Thank you 
very much for understanding my need to serve and joining me in that 
effort in serving in the House. Happy birthday, and I will see you at 
the end of the week.
