            CONGRATULATING ANGIE GIANCARLO ON HER RETIREMENT

  (Mr. FLEISCHMANN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Angie 
Giancarlo, who is retiring from government service, having served our 
country for 25 years.
  When Angie told me about her retirement, I told her I would support 
her, especially if she chose to reconsider. Alas, she is retiring, so I 
would like to take this opportunity to honor her 13 years spent on the 
House Appropriations Committee.
  It is hard to put our appreciation into words, but as appropriators, 
we are at our best when we express it in numbers. As professional staff 
and clerk, Angie helped usher 12 energy and water bills through 
successful passage of the House and 14 bills through final enactment. 
Conservatively, that means she also had to directly consider over 600 
amendments to get there.
  I will spare everyone an accounting on all the talking points that it 
entails but rest assured Angie had correct comma placement in every 
single one of them. The countless hours Angie dedicated to the 
Committee made this place a better place, and we greatly appreciate it.
  I feel very lucky that we have been able to work on this bill with 
Angie as clerk, and I am proud of her accomplishments.
  Mr. Speaker, I speak for myself, the Committee, and the United States 
Congress when I express my utmost appreciation for her dedicated 
service over the years.
