                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 13, 2018

  Mr. COOK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the contributions 
that Sharon Haislip has made throughout her forty years of service 
towards the JPL Goldstone Deep Space Communication Complex (GDSCC).
  Sharon began her career in Logistics at the GDSCC, and was promoted 
several times until becoming Production Control Specialist, and 
eventually served on the CSOC contract working as Property Coordinator. 
Her hard work and commitment led to expanded responsibilities as she 
developed a detailed knowledge of government property management. In 
the Property Office, Sharon was responsible for a wide range of 
logistics including government reporting and inventory of NASA 
property. Her work provided valuable records for gathering and tracking 
information on the history of an asset, including its status and 
performance capabilities. This information was critical to insure 
continued operation of telecommunications equipment across multiple 
sites as it was moved from location to location around the Goldstone 
complex.
  Sharon Haislip retires on December 20, 2018. Her diligence towards 
her work has contributed significantly to the success of JPL NASA's 
Deep Space Network as each manned spaceflight mission, landing and 
planetary encounter has contributed towards humankind's understanding 
of the solar system and beyond. On behalf of the United States House of 
Representatives, I thank Sharon for all her contributions towards our 
local community and the future planetary advances that will result from 
her work.
