             CONGRATULATING BRENDON GALLO AND VANDANA VERMA

  (Mrs. LESKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mrs. LESKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize two very special 
people to both my office and me personally, my deputy chief of staff, 
Brendon Gallo, who is in the audience today, and his fiancee, Vandana 
Verma, and to commemorate their upcoming wedding in Florence, Italy.
  Brendon and Vandana met in college at New York University and quickly 
fell in love. They moved to Washington, D.C., for Brendon to pursue his 
interest in politics and have made a home here with their dog, Sage.
  It has been a joy to get to know both Brendon and Vandana over the 
years and watch their love grow. I especially want to thank Vandana for 
her patience and understanding as Brendon has navigated the often 
demanding and time-consuming work of a staffer on Capitol Hill. He has 
done a great job.
  I wish them a lifetime of happiness and blessings and look forward to 
celebrating their marriage next month.
