                   THANKING STAFF FOR THEIR HARD WORK

  (Mr. MOORE of Utah asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. MOORE of Utah. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to simply tell my team 
thank you for the work that they have

been putting in in the last several weeks.
  The individuals that work in our Washington, D.C. and our Ogden, 
Utah, district offices are truly the unsung heroes in our world.
  I often get the credit by having my name on a bill or my name on an 
interview, but the work that they have been doing to help our American 
citizens in Afghanistan and our partners is unprecedented.
  All summer we have been dealing with State Department backlogs to get 
their passports so they can go to Costa Rica or something like that, 
and they have been doing a very good job. It all turned very real as we 
have been working around the clock and taking an enormous amount of 
stress and anguish to do our part.
  I hope that the First District of Utah knows that our team is working 
to do everything we can to help out those families who are directly 
affected by this.
  Our thoughts and prayers are going to a better outcome as we come out 
of this.
