                      TRIBUTE TO LYNETTE FONTENOT

  Mr. CASSIDY. Madam President, I rise to pay tribute to Lynette 
Fontenot, who is retiring from the Federal Emergency Management Agency 
after more than 18 years of service.
  Mrs. Fontenot began her tenure at FEMA in November of 2005, shortly 
after the devastating Hurricanes Katrina and Rita made landfall in 
Louisiana's southeast and southwest coasts, respectively. During her 
time at FEMA, Mrs. Fontenot has worked primarily as a congressional 
affairs specialist, assisting numerous Louisiana congressional offices 
over the years.
  Mrs. Fontenot's contributions extend beyond responding to 
congressional inquiries. She served as an effective liaison between our 
branches of government and assisted both House and Senate Committees 
and Members with coordinating meetings and visits throughout Louisiana.
  Mrs. Fontenot is regarded as a tremendous asset to the entire 
Louisiana congressional delegation. On behalf of the people of 
Louisiana, I extended my heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Fontenot for her 
dedication and selfless service to our country.
  I ask that all of Louisiana join me to thank and honor Mrs. Fontenot.
