                       Friday, November 30, 2018

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a former longtime member 
of my staff, Mary O'Keeffe, for her work in my office and her service 
to our state.
  Mary started on our team during my first term in Congress, serving as 
my foreign affairs Legislative Assistant. During her time in our 
office, she advised me on a variety of policy issues, served as our 
lead staffer with the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and helped 
develop numerous pieces of legislation. After leaving our office, Mary 
went on to work for Rep. Andy Harris and now serves as the Chief of 
Staff for the Maryland Transportation Authority.
  On a personal note, I admire Mary's loyalty, intellect and work 
ethic. She has been a valuable member of our team, and I have no doubt 
Mary's future is very bright. I want to thank Mary for her friendship 
and her hard work in our office. I wish her continued success in all 
that God has planned for her and her family.

                          ____________________
