                          FAREWELL RAY SALAZAR

  (Ms. CLARK of Massachusetts asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. CLARK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bid farewell 
to my floor director, the incomparable Ray Salazar.
  If you have had the privilege of serving in this Chamber, you know 
what a gem, what a patriot, and what an indispensable pillar of this 
institution Ray is. You also know what a reliable friend and adviser he 
is, and you know what a loss his departure will be for the House of 
Representatives.
  From his time with Leader Hoyer to his years on my team, every time 
he stepped onto this floor he has strengthened our institution, always 
leading with values and integrity, bringing a steady hand to his work 
along with his encyclopedic knowledge of parliamentary procedure.
  I thank Ray for his 13 years of extraordinary service. He is the 
model of what it means to be a public servant, waking up every day to 
work for the American people. We wish him all the best in his next 
chapter.
