                        HONORING BOB GASTONGUAY

  (Mr. AMODEI asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. AMODEI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the career of Bob 
Gastonguay, who has been with my office since I was elected in 2011.
  Prior to his first retirement, Bob had a long and successful career 
in telecommunications as the executive director of the Nevada State 
Cable Telecommunications Association.
  Why did he come out of retirement? He wanted a Federal job.
  No matter the difficulties that came with serving as the face of my 
front office, Bob has been the perfect person to greet people or take 
their calls. He greets everyone with a warm welcome, and shows them 
respect, and makes them feel heard.
  As a new member of the octogenarian club, Bob hasn't let his age slow 
him down. He is always the first one in, constantly on the move, and 
always striking up a conversation with whomever he meets.
  In addition to his long career, Bob raised a family of two sons, a 
granddaughter, and three great-grandchildren with his loving wife of 60 
years, Barbara.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Bob for his service to Nevada and to the 
country.
