                       RECOGNIZING ANN SCHLUETER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. SAM GRAVES

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, December 6, 2004

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Ann Schlueter, 
a dedicated member of my congressional staff who will be leaving my 
office on November 30, 2004. Her work ethic, professionalism, and 
dedication to Missouri's Sixth Congressional District will be sadly 
missed. I consider myself fortunate though, because Ann will soon start 
a new career as Atchison County Economic Developer, which means that my 
home county will continue to benefit from her expertise and commitment 
to service.
  Ann has been affiliated with my office for over three years now, and 
has held just about every position available. She began her service as 
an intern in my Liberty, Missouri district office in 2001, and since 
then has held the positions of caseworker, scheduler, and field 
representative among others. In January of 2003, she began working in 
my Saint Joseph, Missouri district office and I know her colleagues 
there will miss her just as much as I will. While she excelled at every 
task, in my mind the highlight of Ann's tenure on my staff was her 
organization of the Tarkio Fly-In on June 5, 2004.
  Ann has also excelled outside of the office. She is a graduate of 
Tarkio High School and the University of Missouri--Columbia. Ann and 
her husband Matt currently reside in my hometown of Tarkio with their 
son Aaron, who was born in 2003.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Ann Schlueter 
for her many important contributions to myself, my staff, and 
Missouri's Sixth Congressional District. Ann exemplifies the qualities 
of dedication and service and I am extremely proud of her 
accomplishments. While she is leaving my congressional staff, I am 
proud that I will still be able to represent her in the United States 
Congress.
