                HONORING THE SERVICE OF RALENE BERGQUIST

  (Mr. ESTES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ESTES. Madam Speaker, I rise on behalf of the people of the 
Fourth District of Kansas to pay tribute to Ralene Bergquist as she 
retires after 10 years of service in our congressional district.
  Ralene has been faithfully serving the people of Kansas' Fourth 
District for 10 years. She began with my predecessor, Congressman Mike 
Pompeo, before he went to be the CIA Director.
  Ralene was very familiar and a constant voice to help make sure that 
we had a smooth transition when I became a new Member of Congress for 
the Fourth District.
  Ralene's dedication and work have been very much appreciated and a

great service to two Members of Congress, as well as the constituents 
of Kansas' Fourth Congressional District.
  I speak for myself and the entire D.C. and district staff when I say 
we will miss Ralene as she retires from congressional service.
  We are excited to see what the future holds for Ralene and wish her 
many blessings as she enjoys more time with her husband, Kansas State 
Representative Emil Bergquist, their children, and their grandchildren.
  Congratulations on a wonderful career, and thank you from a grateful 
district.
