                      TRIBUTE TO KARISHMA MERCHANT

  Mr. KAINE. Madam President, the last thing I want to say is a thank-
you. I have a staffer in the room, Karishma Merchant, who has staffed 
me on the HELP Committee since before I was on the HELP Committee, and 
she is leaving me to take a wonderful job at Jobs for the Future to 
continue her passion for workforce and education.
  She has helped me on childcare, on issues battling campus sexual 
assault, career and technical education, and teacher training. 
Everything I have done in the education and workforce space and on the 
committee has been because I had a fantastic staffer pointing me in the 
right direction. She is here in the Chamber, and I want to finish by 
expressing my thanks to her.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Connecticut.
