minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HERN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Brian O'Hara in 
appreciation for his outstanding public service to the people of 
Oklahoma's First Congressional District and wish him well as he enters 
retirement.
  Brian has spent nearly 10 years serving constituents in our district 
office as a congressional staffer, first with my predecessor, Jim 
Bridenstine, and then in our office. He has a lifetime of knowledge and 
experience that our office will dearly miss as he leaves his post.
  Prior to his congressional staff career, Brian served as a councilman 
for the city of Jenks. He had a robust business career, as well.
  In his private life, Brian contributes much of his time, money, and 
efforts to benefit several good causes. However, no cause has meant 
more to Brian than fighting against cancer, and I don't know anyone who 
has been a better ambassador for this profound effort.
  Brian, thank you for serving our constituents in the great State of 
Oklahoma like every day is Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and your 
wife, Karen, and happy retirement.
