                       TRIBUTE TO SARAH STEINBERG

  Mr. McCONNELL. Of course, Mr. President, I can't talk about how my 
office runs with calm efficiency and professionalism without mentioning 
the great work of my scheduling director, Sarah Steinberg.
  Around the Senate, it is considered poor form to recruit all-star 
staffers away from our colleagues, but when my dear friend Lamar 
Alexander announced his retirement, I concluded it was fair play for 
the Kentucky delegation to borrow Sarah's talents from her native 
Tennessee.
  At any given moment over the past 5 years, there isn't anyone who has 
had a better idea of where I am--or, more importantly, where I am 
supposed to be--than Sarah. Discretion and attention to detail are her 
calling cards. Sarah closely guards my confidence and vigilantly 
protects my time. She spots sensitive situations from a mile away and

steers us through them with the ease of a pro who has seen it all.
  Indeed, Sarah has seen it all. From her days at the business end of 
Senate casework back in Tennessee to her tenure managing some of the 
most demanding schedules here in Washington, to the job of which I am 
sure she is most proud: raising two young sons, Connor and Graham, with 
her husband Shane.
  I have been so grateful for Sarah's willingness to juggle it all with 
such excellence.
  So, thank you, Sarah.
