                 RECOGNIZING THE SERVICE OF PAM MARPHIS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. STEVE SCALISE

                              of louisiana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 9, 2021

  Mr. SCALISE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service of 
Pam Marphis, a selfless public servant and one of the longest-serving 
staffers in my office.
  Pam's 22 years working in Congress began with then-Representative 
David Vitter in 1999, then with Bobby Jindal, and then with my office 
when I won a special election in 2008.
  Pam Marphis has helped thousands of constituents with their casework 
over the course of her career and she has been a rock star in so many 
ways.
  In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Pam tirelessly helped 
Louisiana families navigate the FEMA bureaucracy so that they could get 
the help they needed to rebuild their homes and communities that were 
devastated.
  When there was a child in Honduras needing heart surgery, Pam worked 
with the State Department to get that child to a hospital in Louisiana.
  And as the world began to shut down in the beginning of this 
pandemic, Pam worked round-the-clock to get U.S. citizens back home.
  I thank Pam, for her faithful service to our country. Her decades of 
experience will be sorely missed. Jennifer and I wish Pam and Gary the 
best in this next chapter of their lives.
