  Ms. NORTON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to ask the House of 
Representatives to join me in celebrating Department of Public Works 
Employee Appreciation Day by recognizing the District of Columbia 
Department of Public Works.
  The D.C. Department of Public Works provides a number of services, 
including trash and recycling collection, snow removal, parking 
enforcement, fleet management and supporting events and demonstrations.
  The D.C. Department of Public Works is home to a workforce of 1,500 
employees. Many of these employees are D.C. residents, and their hard 
work and services contribute to the upkeep, maintenance, productivity 
and growth of D.C. Today, D.C. residents are joining together to show 
our appreciation for our D.C. Department of Public Works employees.
  Madam Speaker, again, I ask the House of Representatives to join me 
in celebrating Department of Public Works Employee Appreciation Day by 
thanking the D.C. Department of Public Works for its tireless work.
