   RECOGNIZING STACY RASTAUSKAS FOR HER WORK IN THE HOUSE REPUBLICAN 
                               CLOAKROOM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. J. DENNIS HASTERT

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 17, 2004

  Mr. HASTERT. Mr. Speaker, all too often, the hard work of House staff 
goes unnoticed. Members of Congress thank their legislative staff when 
their bills pass the House, but rarely do they thank the people who 
make the House Floor run on a day to day basis. So today I rise to 
recognize someone who deserves the thanks of this entire institution: 
Stacy Rastauskas, the outgoing Assistant Floor Chief of the House 
Republican Cloakroom.
  For 2 two years, Stacy has helped to run the House Floor from her 
desk in the Republican Cloakroom. She has been a source of invaluable 
information to all Members, a trusted colleague to countless House 
staff, and a mentor to our House pages. It is impossible to visit the 
Cloakroom without being on the receiving end of one of her brilliant 
smiles. In short, Stacy made the Cloakroom feel like home to us all.
  Soon Stacy will be leaving to open a Washington office for Ohio State 
University. I cannot possibly thank her enough for the dedicated hours 
she spent as Assistant Floor Chief. It is with a heavy heart that we 
say goodbye and good luck. The Republican Cloakroom won't be the same 
without her.
