                       TRIBUTE TO KATHRYN LEHMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. DAVE CAMP

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 5, 2005

  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the 
distinguished service of an employee of this House. To do so, I'm 
reminded of an old phrase that doesn't fit anymore in today's society. 
It goes: behind every good man is a good woman. The saying may be 
outdated, but the point it tries to make still rings true: nobody gets 
very far without a lot of support.
  Nowhere is that more accurate than in the world of politics and 
public service. I'd like to think that the modern corollary up here on 
the Hill might sound something like: behind every good politician is 
their staff. And, Kathryn Lehman has helped make many a good 
politician.
  Kathryn may not have been in the headlines, she may not have been 
lauded with award after award and plaque after plaque, but she has done 
much to make our Republican caucus a success.
  In her many roles, Kathryn has always been a go-to person. Working 
the halls of Congress with an in-depth knowledge of policy, an ability 
to handle even the toughest personalities and a dedication to public 
service that is second to none, Kathryn has remained a constant force 
in moving our agenda forward.
  Kathryn is leaving us to take that next step in her already 
distinguished career. While I know that Kathryn's talents will be 
missed, I wish her the very best in her new endeavor.
