                         HONORING KRISTEN MEYER

  (Ms. HOULAHAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. HOULAHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to address the hard work and 
invaluable contributions of Kristen Meyer to my office. Kristen has 
honorably served as an Air Force Congressional fellow on my legislative 
team for the past year.
  While Kristen's time in my office is coming to an end, her 
contributions to my community and to our Nation will be durable and 
lasting. Notably, in just one year's time, she has helped us to 
reinvigorate the bipartisan Servicewomen and Women Veterans Caucus like 
never before. She has championed dozens of legislative proposals 
through the fiscal year 2025 NDAA, which passed last evening, and she 
spearheaded numerous Intelligence Authorization Act provisions that 
will make our country and our world safer. She has improved office 
processes, strategies, community outreach, and much more, and most 
importantly, she has made us laugh even when we felt like crying.
  The HoulaTeam is incredibly grateful to the generosity, ferocity, 
kindness, and humor that Kristen has brought to our office every single 
day.
  I thank Kristen for her service and for her vital contributions to 
the intelligence community. We wish her the best of luck on her next 
steps, and we will miss her.
