                       Wednesday, August 2, 2006

  Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Rosemary Foreman, who is retiring after contributing over thirty years 
of service to the Commonwealth of Virginia and the Republican Party. I 
have known Rosemary Foreman since my days in the Fairfax County Board 
of Supervisors when she was a congressional staffer for Congressman 
Stan Parris.
  Rosemary served as the first Community/Outreach Coordinator for the 
Virginia Attorney General Office's Northern Virginia Regional Office, 
under Attorneys General Bob McDonnell, Jim Gilmore, Mark Earley, Jerry 
Kilgore, as well as interim Attorneys General Randy Baeles and Richard 
Cullen.
  In this position, Rosemary leveraged her considerable interpersonal 
and communications skills to help the Attorney General educate the 
citizens of northern Virginia on consumer protection and crime 
prevention.
  Before joining the government of Virginia, Rosemary helped lead a 
number of political campaigns for state and congressional candidates in 
northern Virginia and held political positions in several Congressional 
offices. Throughout her career, she earned a well-deserved reputation 
for her political acumen, tenacious advocacy and gracious constituent 
service.
  In the course of developing a valued and impressive record of public 
and political service, Rosemary was a dedicated and loving wife to her 
husband E. David Foreman, Jr., and mother to her two children, Sheryl 
Olecheck and E. David Foreman III.
  Mr. Speaker, in closing, I ask my colleagues to join me in applauding 
Rosemary Foreman and congratulating her on her retirement after a 
distinguished career dedicated to serving the citizens of northern 
Virginia.
