    IN RECOGNITION OF KATHY McCARTHY FOR HER YEARS OF PUBLIC SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MARK GREEN

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 25, 2004

  Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, today before this house I would 
like to honor and recognize Kathy McCarthy for her hard work and 
dedication to the citizens of Wisconsin's Eighth Congressional 
District. After serving 14 years in both my office and that of former 
Congressman Toby Roth, Kathy has chosen to retire and pursue new 
endeavors outside of federal service.
  Kathy McCarthy began her career in public service as a staff 
assistant and office manager with Congressman Roth, In that time she 
fulfilled a number of vital roles and coordinated numerous projects, 
including casework duties and student nominations to the United States 
Service Academies. During her tenure with Congressman Roth, Kathy 
earned the reputation of being a fierce advocate for constituents, and 
an indispensable member of the office.
  After joining my staff in 1999, Kathy's expertise and acute 
understanding of casework issues proved vital in getting my office up 
and running. She was able to successfully assist thousands of 
constituents in navigating the maze of federal agencies, helping folks 
receive all the benefits and services they deserve.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize my friend Kathy McCarthy 
for her years of dedicated public service. My constituents, my staff 
and I are sad to see her go, but we are consoled by the fact that Kathy 
will soon be enjoying a long retirement with her family. From the 
bottom of my heart I say thank you, and wish her all the best in 
retirement.
