               HONORING TERRI McCULLOUGH FOR HER SERVICE

  (Ms. PELOSI asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor a visionary, steadfast, and 
deeply respected leader and an indispensable participant in advancing 
our mission for the people, my longtime chief of staff, Terri 
McCullough.
  Terri is stepping down this month to spend more time with her family, 
her teenagers.
  Terri's service has been defined by her wisdom, by her warmth, and by 
her unwavering belief in the power of public service to improve private 
lives.
  From her beginnings as an intern in my San Francisco district office 
nearly 30 years ago to her outstanding leadership as chief of staff in 
the Speaker's Office, Terri has embodied the very best of her core 
values: integrity, excellence, and compassion.
  Terri made history as the first woman to serve as a chief of staff in 
the Speaker's Office, a testament not only to her extraordinary 
capabilities, but to her trailblazing example for women across this 
institution and the Nation.
  Her leadership helped guide our work through times of enormous 
challenge and change, from strengthening our institution to delivering 
historic progress for working families.
  Her judgment, strategic insight, and care for every member of our 
office, our Caucus, and our Congress have been essential to our 
success.
  While we will miss her daily leadership, we wish her every happiness 
in the next chapter of her life. We look forward to continuing our 
collaboration, friendship, and shared mission in new ways.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Terri McCullough for everything.
