                         Tribute to Donna Boley

  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. President, today I rise to speak on a couple of 
topics, but first, I want to take this opportunity to thank really an 
icon in our State, and that is West Virginia State Senate Pro Tempore 
Donna Boley. She is a good friend of mine, and she is now in her 10th 
term. She is the longest continuously serving member in our State's 
State senate. At one point in history, Donna Boley was the only 
Republican. She was the ranking member on every single committee and 
the lead Republican, as she was the only one in the early nineties.
  I want to thank her for her service, for her service to our State, 
which began in 1985, and wish her all the best as she presides today--
she is presiding today--over the West Virginia State Senate.
  So, Donna, way to go. Really proud of you. You are a role model for 
every woman who is watching and certainly young girls as well
