                        RECOGNIZING SIMONA ELVIN

  (Mrs. BICE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BICE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate my incredible 
Marine Corps fellow, Captain Simona Elvin, for her tremendous work this 
past year in my office.
  Simona has been instrumental in helping prepare for legislation, 
meetings, and defense events. Her expertise has been crucial in 
crafting legislation that directly benefits our servicemembers in 
Oklahoma's Fifth Congressional District. Her hard work in my office and 
service to our Nation are applaudable.
  Mr. Speaker, I will miss Simona, not only for what she has brought to 
us legislatively but also for who she is as a person. From day one, it 
was obvious that she would fit well with Team Bice. Her attitude, 
spirit, and wit will be truly missed, especially at Monday morning 
coffee.
  This past weekend was the 126th Army-Navy game. As a member of the 
Board of Visitors at West Point, this is not easy to say, but for 
Simona, I will: Congrats. Go Navy.
  Mr. Speaker, she will be truly missed.
