                HONORING THE SERVICE OF MEREDITH McGEHEE

  (Mr. KILMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KILMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Meredith McGehee, 
the executive director of Issue One, who is leaving her post at the end 
of this month.
  Meredith is one of the Nation's most knowledgeable and dedicated 
experts on Congress and ethics in politics. She is a true public 
servant and has devoted her career to making Congress and the Federal 
Government more transparent, more effective, and to making it work 
better for the American people.
  In fact, she is among the leading advocates for many of the key laws 
that shape the way that Congress operates today, contributing to the 
formulation of the Gift Ban, the Lobbying Disclosure Act, the 
Congressional Accountability Act, the Bipartisan Campaign Finance 
Reform Act, the STOCK Act, and the establishment of the bipartisan 
Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress, which I now have the 
honor of chairing.
  Of all of the ways that Meredith has had an impact, she is first and 
foremost, a devoted daughter of Albuquerque, a wife, and mom to Timo 
who, himself, is now pursuing a career in service to our country.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Meredith for her service and wish her 
all the best in the days ahead.
