                         COMMENDING CINDY CHANG

  Mr. GREGG. Mr. President, I want to take a moment to recognize the 
hard work of Ms. Cindy Chang, Senior Adviser for Budget and 
Appropriations at the State Department's Bureau of Legislative Affairs.
  Cindy has worked closely with the State, Foreign Operations, and 
Related Programs Appropriations Subcommittee for the past several years 
and has been an invaluable asset to the Congress. Cindy understands the 
appropriations and budget processes. She understands foreign policy, 
whether the complexities associated with the Middle East or the nuances 
of Southeast Asia. Cindy is also extremely responsive to the 
subcommittee's many and frequent requests for information.
  Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice should understand that in the 
opinion of the Appropriations Committee, Cindy Chang is among the 
brightest stars at the State Department. As the year draws to a close, 
my staff joins me in recognizing and thanking Cindy for her outstanding 
support of the subcommittee in 2007.
