                     A TRIBUTE TO JENNIFER MUMMERT

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JERRY LEWIS

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 17, 1999

  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I would like today to pay 
tribute to Jenny Mummert, a hardworking, highly valued staff member of 
the Defense Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, who is 
leaving November 19th after eight years to pursue her career in the 
private sector.
  Whether she was putting in long days and endless hours working on 
behalf of our national defense--or struggling to look serious at the 
Paris Air Show--Jenny Mummert couldn't help being her ever-positive 
self. She has always been a vital member of the team, doing all she can 
to make the defense appropriations subcommittee the best committee in 
the House of Representatives.
  Now she has decided to leave us to seek new challenges and 
opportunities. But she will always be a part of our family. We know 
that her husband, Joe, and their four children, Joey, Kandyce, Kevin 
and Karley, are excited about her new career. But they are very likely 
just as excited about the prospect of mom having a more normal work 
schedule.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me in wishing all 
the best for Jenny in her new endeavor, and to let her know that we 
will miss her every day and will always be grateful for what she's done 
for the Congress and our national defense.
