                         Tribute to Chuck Flint

  Madam President, the time has come for Team Blackburn to say goodbye 
to our fearless leader and current chief of staff, Chuck Flint.
  Chuck first joined my team in the House as a member of our 
legislative staff. He was eager to prove himself capable and well 
versed on our legislative issues, and I will tell you, he succeeded. In 
the 7 years since he first walked through my office door, he has grown 
into one of the finest office chiefs of staff I have seen on the Hill 
and one of the finest political strategists here on Capitol Hill, one 
of my most trusted advisers, and, I will add, the most enthusiastic 
softball player on Team Whiskey Business--the most enthusiastic I think 
we have ever fielded.
  I wish Chuck, Jessica, and little Everett all the hope and happiness 
in the world as they embark on their next beautiful adventure together.
  We will miss him tremendously, but no matter how far they travel, 
they will always have a home with Team Blackburn and in service to the 
Volunteer State.
  I yield the floor.
