                            Tribute to Jess Andrews

      Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, I rise today for two reasons. No. 1, I am
    losing one of my best colleagues--she is sitting right here next to
    me--Ms. Jess Andrews. Jess has run my communications shop for--I don't
    know how many years--5 years.
      I try to hire really good people, and, certainly, Jess is one of
    them. She is a very moral person. She is whip-smart. But when you hire
    good people, you know you are going to lose them because good people,
    capable people, like Jess, are ambitious people, and they want to move
    on to new positions.
      Jess is becoming deputy chief of staff to our new Senator from Ohio.
    I wish her well, and I just wanted to thank her publicly.
      Jess Andrews is the real deal, and she has just done an extraordinary
    job for the people in Louisiana and for the American people, and I am
    so, so grateful.
      I congratulate our new Senator from Ohio. He is getting a good one.
      So thank you, Jess.
