                        TRIBUTE TO BETTY EMERSON

  Mr. TILLIS. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize Betty Emerson, 
who is retiring as the congressional liaison for North Carolina's 
Disability Determination Services. Ms. Emerson has served the North 
Carolina Department of Health and Human Services for over 32 years, and 
her service to North Carolina is greatly appreciated.
  Ms. Emerson began her career at the North Carolina Department of 
Health and Human Services as a unit office assistant. She then served 
as a backup to the medical and congressional liaison, and finally, as 
the congressional liaison for the North Carolina Disability 
Determination Services. She has consistently gone above and beyond the 
call of duty to assist North Carolina's citizens.
  During her 12 years as congressional liaison, Ms. Emerson developed 
incredibly strong relationships across the State. Her career 
exemplified the highest standard of excellence, and I am incredibly 
grateful for the exceptional service she consistently provided to the 
staff in my North Carolina offices on behalf of our citizens.
  I wish Ms. Emerson all the best for happiness and good health in the 
years ahead.
