                       RECOGNIZING LEE LONSBERRY

  (Mr. OWENS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize my outgoing chief 
of staff, Mr. Lee Lonsberry, a beloved fixture here on the Hill and one 
of Utah's most trusted voices.
  This end of this week marks the conclusion of a decade of Lee's 
exemplary public service. Before joining my office, Lee served as 
communications director for two distinguished members of Utah's 
delegation in both the House and the Senate.
  As my chief of staff, Lee revealed his greatest gifts and talent, a 
style of leadership that has built a beautiful culture of service and 
family.
  Lee has earned the respect and admiration of everyone who has had the 
privilege of working with him. We are excited to see him take those 
skills of service, patience, encouragement, and as a strategist into 
his next chapter. We know, as has been his last chapter, it will be a 
successful one.
  I thank Lee for his personal friendship, his leadership to our 
remarkable team, his faithful service to the people of Utah, our 
country, and this institution. He will be missed. Well done, my friend.
