               HONORING CHUCK TURNER UPON HIS RETIREMENT

  (Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to 
ask the Members to join me in paying a special tribute to one of the 
most respected and knowledgeable staffers here on Capitol Hill. After 
more than 30 years of Federal service, Chuck Turner is retiring from 
the Appropriations Committee today.
  Chuck is one of the finest examples of a public servant that we have 
in this institution. He has worked tirelessly on the Legislative Branch 
Subcommittee for more than 20 years, and leaves behind a record of 
integrity and service to this institution that few can match.
  The tremendous expertise and insight he has brought to the day-to-day 
oversight of the House of Representatives and the entire legislative 
branch will be sorely missed. I have gotten to know Chuck over the past 
2 years in my role as Chair of the Legislative Branch Subcommittee. We 
owe Chuck a deep debt of gratitude for the great contributions that he 
has made, and this rookie Cardinal owes him a tremendous personal debt.
  Chuck, we will miss you. We thank you for your service, and wish you 
good luck with all of your future endeavors. Godspeed.
