                        Tribute to Teresa Simms

  Madam President, I also want to mention briefly, I just came in on 
the underground subway from the offices and ran into a woman who has 
spent 41 years working here for us--one of those selfless, hard-working 
employees of the United States Capitol. Her name is Teresa Simms. Many 
of you know Teresa. She always has a smile on her face. She is always 
optimistic. She always has a focus on providing the best service to all 
of us--staff, other employees, Members. She started in the cafeteria. 
She then went to the night cleaning crew, cleaning offices here in this 
place at night. And then she was promoted to being one of the drivers 
of the subway. For 41 years, again, she has done that job dutifully, 
with great commitment.
  She is going to retire and spend more time with her family and, 
particularly, take care of her mom, who is ill. Tonight we want to 
offer our thanks and gratitude to her and our best wishes to her in 
retirement.
