                       TRIBUTE TO MARTHA McSALLY

  Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, although Martha McSally only joined the 
Senate in 2019, she has spent decades serving the Nation and the people 
of the State of Arizona.
  She served for decades as a fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force, in 
service to our country and to keep Americans safe. Upon her retirement 
as colonel from the Air Force, she continued her career as a public 
servant by representing Arizona's Second Congressional District in the 
U.S. House of Representatives for 4 years before her appointment to the 
Senate.
  In the Senate, as she did in the House, Senator McSally has fought 
hard to support veterans and has worked to further the interests of 
Arizonans. Her sense of duty to her country and to her State allowed 
her to make important contributions to the Senate Armed Services and 
Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committees.
  Senator McSally has also been a ``neighbor,'' with our offices both 
on same floor of the Russell Senate Building. I thank Senator McSally 
for her service in the Senate, and I wish her the best in the next 
chapter of her life.
  (At the request of Mr. Thune, the following statement was ordered to 
be printed in the Record.)
