                      TRIBUTE TO CAROLYN E. BOLDEN

  Mr. ALEXANDER. Mr. President, along with my colleague, the ranking 
member on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, Senator 
Murray, I wish to pay tribute to Carolyn Bolden, a nondesignated 
employee on the HELP Committee staff. Ms. Bolden is retiring at the end 
of this month after more than 23 years of distinguished service to the 
Congress, including more than 12 years serving on the HELP Committee.
  Ms. Bolden has served on the HELP Committee as an assistant editor on 
detail from the Government Publishing Office since September 2006, 
providing support in all aspects of editing and printing the 
committee's many documents.
  Ms. Bolden is well-regarded on both sides of the aisle, having proven 
her professionalism, courtesy, and substantial expertise across four 
chairs and both parties. Without the support of Ms. Bolden and the rest 
of the nondesignated staff, the committee could not accomplish the 
important work the American people expect us to get done on their 
behalf. I, along with the ranking member and the rest of the 
committee's members, want to recognize Ms. Bolden for that tremendous 
contribution to the Committee as she exits her time in the Senate.
  I would like to yield now to my colleague, the ranking member, 
Senator Murray, for her remarks.
  Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I thank Chairman Alexander and join him 
in commending Ms. Bolden for her many years of dedicated and 
outstanding service to the Government Publishing Office, the Congress, 
and the American people. I greatly appreciate the sacrifice that Ms. 
Bolden has made over the past 13 years in assisting the HELP Committee 
by applying her expertise in editing, printing, and memorializing our 
important work. We wish her and her family all the best in her well-
deserved retirement.
  We hope our colleagues will join us in thanking Ms. Bolden for her 
service.
