                      TRIBUTE TO SRDJAN SIMUNOVIC

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Madam President, this month, Team Blackburn is saying 
goodbye to Srdjan Simunovic, who has spent 2 years with us as part of a 
fellowship program between my office and the Oak Ridge National 
Laboratory, which is just outside of Knoxville, TN.
  Most staff here on Capitol Hill dabble in politics. Even our most 
dedicated policy staff tend to have ambitions that extend beyond their 
chosen portfolio, but the position of Oak Ridge fellow is special in 
that it attracts people whose expertise transcends politics.
  It has been such a pleasure working with Srdjan over the past 2 years 
and watching him open my team's eyes to the truly marvelous things 
Tennesseans are doing at Oak Ridge. We will miss him tremendously, but 
I know his wife Marina and son Thomas will be grateful to have him home 
full time.
  Srdjan, thank you for giving 2 years of your life to Team Blackburn. 
We wish you all the best with what comes next.
