                       A TRIBUTE TO KRISTIN YOUNG

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ERIC CANTOR

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 13, 2005

  Mr. CANTOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Kristin 
Young. After more than a decade of service to the House of 
Representatives, she is moving home to Connecticut. She spent the last 
four and a half years working in my office, currently serving as my 
Director of Administration.
  I am very appreciative of all of Kristin's hard work over the years. 
I have been fortunate to have one of the most talented, committed and 
effective staffers on Capitol Hill handling my schedule and greeting 
constituents with a smile each working day.
  Kristin's strong work ethic was invaluable in making sure I was able 
get the people's work done and meet and greet as many constituents as 
possible. Kristin's demonstrated ability to get things done led me to 
ask her to assume additional responsibilities when the need arose. She 
always had a very full agenda, but she cheerfully took on any new task 
and made many valuable improvements in the office.
  My wife Diana and I feel Kristin's departure is a personal loss for 
us and the residents of Virginia's 7th District, and we will miss her 
and her son Dylan greatly. I am very proud of the great and unselfish 
work Kristin Young has done on behalf of the citizens of Virginia. I am 
most proud to join many, many others in calling her a friend. I know 
that I reflect the feelings of all of her fellow staff members in 
wishing her continued success and happiness.
