                         RECOGNIZING BARB IVES

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank 
and celebrate someone who has been a dedicated member of my team for 
many years now. Barb Ives, a field representative and office manager, 
recently surpassed a 20-year milestone representing our district.
  Barb has selflessly served the district since September of 2000, 
initially with

my predecessor Congressman John Peterson. We were truly blessed to 
welcome her to the Thompson Team.
  Barb is an active member in her community and never stops working 
hard for our constituents, helping individuals get much-needed 
assistance on issues related to the VA, Social Security, Medicare, and 
so much more. She is the kind of person who is willing to step up, take 
charge, and get the job done.
  In the little spare time she has when she is not helping others, Barb 
is an avid golfer and a wonderful singer. I can't thank Barb enough for 
her hard work and dedication and sense of humor over the years.
