              RECOGNIZING ANNETTE LEWIS ON HER RETIREMENT

  (Mr. CLINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Annette Lewis of Total 
Action for Progress on her retirement after 35 years of service.
  Annette began her career with TAP as a summer youth counselor and 
quickly rose to eventually become president of the organization with 
which she started.
  Since TAP's inception, Annette, with the help of donors and 
volunteers, has improved countless lives in our community, serving 
several cities in the Sixth District of Virginia.
  The organization focuses on helping the most vulnerable citizens and 
families achieve sustainable and equitable economic and personal 
independence through education, employment, affordable housing, and 
safe and healthy environments.
  Because of her outstanding work, many folks in the Shenandoah Valley 
have been assisted by the organization and are now thriving both 
personally and financially.
  I congratulate Annette Lewis on her many years of success, and I wish 
her a wonderful retirement.
