    HONORING LISA FORADORI'S SERVICE TO THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF 
                            REPRESENTATIVES

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Lisa 
Foradori's service to the United States House of Representatives.
  This month, Lisa will be retiring from the Office of Official 
Reporters, which is within the Office of the Clerk of the House.
  Lisa has been one of the House's elite court reporters providing 
expert stenographic support to committees and the House floor.
  Lisa was born in DuBois, Pennsylvania. That is in the 15th 
Congressional District, and I am very proud of that. She grew up in 
Ebensburg, Pennsylvania, which also was in my Congressional District 
for a while.
  In 1982, she obtained her court reporting degree from Central 
Pennsylvania Business School in Summerdale, Pennsylvania.
  Following graduation, Lisa worked as an official court reporter in 
Clearfield, Pennsylvania, and Pasco and Hernando Counties in Florida. 
In 1992, Lisa started her own court reporting firm in Ebensburg, 
Pennsylvania.
  During this time, Lisa also worked as a contract reporter for the 
United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania 
in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
  In 2007, Lisa moved to Washington, D.C., to serve as a court reporter 
for the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, 
where she worked until joining the House.
  Lisa enjoys spending time with family and friends, and two beautiful 
granddaughters, Vivian and Chloe. Once retired, Lisa plans to travel, 
play golf and tennis, and go kayaking.
  Mr. Speaker, the court reporters who support the House floor are the 
best in their profession, and Lisa is no exception.
  On behalf of the whole House, I wish to express my gratitude for 
Lisa's dedicated service to the House and her country.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Lisa and wish her all the best in her 
next chapter.
