                         HONORING MARGE TRACEY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. STENY H. HOYER

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 22, 2009

  Mr. HOYER. Madam Speaker, Marge Tracey, who retires this year, first 
came to work as a secretary at the AFL-CIO over 35 years ago. She has 
spent her working life at the AFL-CIO advancing the interest of 
America's working families. During that time, she has been an integral 
part of every fight over the last three decades on labor law reform, 
minimum wage, trade, health care, retirement security, and more. She 
has been witness to and a key part of many chapters of labor and 
Congressional history, often working behind the scenes, but always an 
integral part of progress.
  So on the occasion of her retirement, I join with her family, her 
friends, and all of her colleagues at the AFL-CIO in congratulating her 
and expressing deep appreciation for all of her dedicated work. Marge 
Tracey has lived a remarkable life of service to working men and women, 
and I wish her all the best in the years to come.
