  HONORING MRS. PAULA D. HAVERON, CONGRESSIONAL LIAISON REPRESENTATIVE

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TOM DAVIS

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 5, 2004

  Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mrs. 
Paula D. Haveron, who retired on July 31, 2004, after completing over 
42 years of Federal Service.
  Mrs. Haveron began her Civil Service career in 1958 as a clerk-
stenographer in the Office of Air Force Civil Engineers.
  Having demonstrated her competence in working with Members of 
Congress and their staffs, Mrs. Haveron was selected for service in the 
Office of the Secretary of the Air Force, Legislative Liaison Inquiry 
Division, in 1960. Over the years, she served in numerous roles, 
culminating in her current duties as a Congressional Liaison 
Representative in 1997. In this capacity, Mrs. Haveron has been 
responsible for well over 100,000 constituent inquiries, from all 50 
states and territories. In fact, she was the first civilian action 
officer to draft and successfully staff a Congressional response for 
signature by the Air Force Chief of Staff.
  During her 42 years of work in the Office of Legislative Liaison, 
Mrs. Haveron has provided dedicated and professional service to both 
the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives. She has developed 
close working relationships with many of our staffs, and her efforts 
have greatly enhanced congressional understanding of Air Force 
personnel matters. The distinctive accomplishments of Mrs. Paula D. 
Haveron highlight a long and distinguished career in the service of the 
Federal Government, and reflect great credit upon herself and the 
Department of the Air Force.
