                Tribute to Nate Adler and Nick Basciano

  Mr. President, I would be remiss, though, to close my comments about 
Vanessa's departure from the committee without also acknowledging the 
departure of two other dedicated staff members. Nate Adler and Nick 
Basciano, currently serving on the majority staff of the committee, are 
leaving the committee to pursue the next chapters in their professional 
lives.
  Nick and Nate have been valuable members of the committee staff, 
working critical portfolios covering, among other things, 
counterintelligence, foreign influence, and Asia, as well as serving as 
budget monitors to intelligence Agencies. Their contributions to the 
committee and its work cannot be overstated, and much cannot be 
publicly acknowledged. Their dedication to mission and their work ethic 
was a model for all, and their presence and counsel will be sorely 
missed.
  I wish them and Vanessa all the best in their future endeavors. I 
know that they are going to do great things, and I look forward to 
hearing and reading about those future accomplishments.
  I yield the floor.
