                 HONORING THE SERVICE OF JUDY SCHNEIDER

  (Ms. SCHAKOWSKY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to offer my deep 
gratitude and appreciation to someone who has played an inspirational 
and indispensable role in Congress for more than 4 decades, my great 
friend, my guide, Judy Schneider.
  After a legendary career as a Specialist on Congress at the 
Congressional Research Service--really, the specialist, ultimate 
specialist, on Congress--Judy is retiring; and I want to let her know 
how much she will be missed.
  I was fortunate to meet Judy even before I was sworn into the 
Congress. And as soon as I met her, I realized that I need Judy 
Schneider to be my mentor, and I was fortunate that she agreed to do 
that.
  Judy has won many well-deserved accolades; but I think that her 
greatest reward is knowing that she has mentored and trained and 
inspired so many that have gone on to use her lessons about how 
Congress works, how it really works, how it should work, and then how 
it really works. That has been the lesson that has improved people's 
lives and the Members of Congress' lives and well-being.
  So, Judy, I thank you. I love you, and I wish you everything good.
