                      Thursday, November 18, 2021

  Mr. SMUCKER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Judy L. 
Eller of Peach Bottom, Pennsylvania for her more than forty years of 
federal service.
  Judy got her start in the civil service through a work-study program 
with the Social Security Administration. From there, Judy would go on 
to hold a number of positions throughout our federal government with 
the United States Army, as well as the Department of Veterans Affairs.
  Beginning in 1980, Judy was employed at the U.S. Army's Research 
Institute for Chemical Defense in Aberdeen, Maryland, where she worked 
alongside military personnel in handling and dismantling chemical 
agents.
  After her time at Aberdeen, Judy began working for the Department of 
Veterans Affairs in 1986, first at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center 
in Erie, Pennsylvania and later at other VA Medical Centers across 
Pennsylvania and Maryland. The highpoint of her career with the VA came 
when she took the position of Multi-Site Research Compliance Officer 
for the Fourth Veterans Integrated Services Network. Judy stayed in 
this role for seventeen years, lasting up until her retirement this 
month.
  We thank Judy for the many years of dedicated service she gave to our 
country and its veterans. We wish her a well-deserved and restful 
retirement.
