  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the lifelong 
service of Catherine Harris. A dedicated civil service employee, Mrs. 
Harris has worked with the City of Philadelphia Department of Public 
Health for the past 40 years.
  Mrs. Harris began her exemplary service as a Clerk-Typist in the 
Pharmacy Department. She eventually went on to become the only 
Mortality Coder for the entire health department. As a supervisor, she 
helped other staff learn the methods and principles used to rank 
importance of the cause of death for statistical purposes.
  Mrs. Harris retired from the City of Philadelphia Department of 
Public Health on October 4, 2002. In recognition of her years of 
service to the Philadelphia community, I ask that you and my other 
distinguished colleagues rise to congratulate her on retirement.
