                         TRIBUTE TO KOBYE NOEL

  Mr. WARNOCK. Mr. President, today I have the distinct privilege and 
honor to recognize Kobye Noel for over two decades of faithful and 
unwavering service to the U.S. Senate.
  Kobye, a native of the Old Line State, has held the line during 23 
years of service to the Senate, always striving for equity, 
transparency, and diligence in all she does. From her time on the 
Democratic Policy Committee supporting the work of Leader Harry Reid 
that would lead to our country's most recent budget surplus, to her 
work as a staffer on the Senate Budget Committee supporting the 
committee's work to pass the Affordable Health Care Act, ushering in a 
new era of healthcare in our country, Kobye has never wavered in her 
commitment to this body or to helping the American people.
  When not working on committee, Kobye has served a host of Senators 
including Senator Doug Jones of Alabama, Senator Heidi Heitkamp of 
North Dakota, and Senator Ossoff of Georgia. I am especially grateful 
Kobye and her wealth of experience has been able to serve on my staff 
as mail manager for the past 10 months. In her time overseeing our 
office's correspondence, we have sent over 200,000 correspondence 
messages to Georgians, updating them on the issues and legislation 
critically important to their lives.
  It is written that the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are 
few. I congratulate Kobye on retirement with such distinguished service 
and wish her a bountiful harvest for all of her labor on behalf of the 
U.S. Senate and the people of Georgia.
