                            TRIBUTE TO STAFF

  Mr. BROWN. Madam President, over the past couple of years, Ohioans 
and Americans around the country have worked and sacrificed to get our 
country through this pandemic. Among those who have risen to meet this 
historic moment are the dedicated public servants on our Senate staff. 
These patriots have given their all over these last 20 months to 
protect Ohioans' health, to put money in people's pockets, to keep a 
roof over people's heads, and to help our State and our country 
overcome this health and economic crisis.
  I would not have been able to do the vital work we have done in the 
Senate without their expertise and dedication and talent, and we would 
not be where we are today as a country--with rising wages, record job 
growth, and lifesaving vaccines--without them. This holiday season, I 
ask my Senate colleagues to join me in thanking these dedicated 
professionals for their service to our country:
