                      HONORING SARAH YOUNG GLACKIN

                                 ______

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 19, 2021

  Mr. RYAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and thank Sarah 
Young Glackin on her long and distinguished career as a staff member on 
the House Appropriations Committee as she prepares to leave us for new 
endeavors.
  Myself and my fellow colleagues--on both sides of the aisle--have 
relied extensively on Sarah's expertise in many appropriations matters, 
most notably in the areas of defense and military construction.
  Sarah's career began on the Subcommittee on Defense, with a portfolio 
that included Tricare and Defense Health Programs.
  Four years later, she moved to the Subcommittee on Military Quality 
of Life and then Subcommittee on Interior and Environment. She soon 
returned to Defense, where she worked on Counterdrug and Narcotics, 
Missile Defense, Defense Health Programs, Military Medical Research, 
and TRICARE. For the last decade; Sarah has served on the Subcommittee 
on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies.
  She was responsible for military construction across all components 
and services, the improvement of housing for our servicemembers and 
their Families, and the NATO security investment program.
  Oftentimes congressional staffers are not appropriately recognized 
for their service. However, they are the Americans from all over our 
Nation that represent the fabric of our country. Sarah has served in 
more ways than one.
  Madam Speaker, Sarah has been an institution on the Appropriations 
Committee since the moment I arrived there. My colleagues and myself 
will miss her dedication, her patience, and her deep reservoir of 
knowledge. I want to wish Sarah all the best as she pursues new 
adventures.
