                      FAREWELL ALLISON BLANKENSHIP

  (Ms. CLARK of Massachusetts asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. CLARK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I rise to bid farewell to my 
senior floor adviser and alumna of Teams Jayapal, McBath, and Pelosi, 
the one and only, the incomparable, Allison Blankenship.
  The last few years have been some of the most unpredictable in the 
history of this Chamber, and throughout all of it, Allison has been a 
constant and joyful guiding light.
  From the longest speech in House history to the longest vote, Allison 
has skillfully navigated the unprecedented.
  She has powered through all-nighters with a smile, with pride, and 
always with helpful information, because above all, she is driven by a 
love of country, a love of justice, and a love of this institution and 
its people.
  We thank Allison for her hard work, and we wish her all the best on 
her next chapter.
  We will not forget Allison, and we hope she will not forget us.
