 IN RECOGNITION OF GEORGIA O'BRIEN'S 30TH YEAR OF SERVICE TO RESIDENTS 
              OF MINNESOTA'S FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MARTIN OLAV SABO

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 31, 2000

  Mr. SABO. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to recognize a member of my 
staff, Georgia O'Brien, as she marks her 30th year of service on behalf 
of the constituents of Minnesota's Fifth Congressional District.
  Georgia O'Brien has served as a caseworker in my Congressional office 
in Minneapolis since I began my tenure as a United States 
Representative in 1979. Prior to joining my staff, Georgia served on 
the staff of my predecessor in the United States House of 
Representatives, the Honorable Don Fraser (D-MN), from 1970 to 1978.
  Since the day she joined my staff--and, I am certain, during the 
years she spent serving in the office of Congressman Fraser--Georgia 
has served as a tireless advocate on behalf of those residents of the 
Fifth Congressional District who have needed federal assistance in 
resolving a problem.
  Georgia has proven herself an invaluable asset to my office through 
her countless hours of hard work, commitment to public service, and 
success in resolving problems for so many constituents. I am proud to 
count her as a member of my staff.
  Mr. Speaker, today I congratulate Georgia O'Brien for 30 years of 
thoughtful service to the citizens of Minnesota's Fifth Congressional 
District. I thank Georgia for the 21 years she has served on my staff, 
and I am confident that she will continue working hard to improve the 
lives of many more Minnesotans in the years to come.

                          ____________________
