                       TRIBUTE TO CAROL BROADNAX

 Mr. PRYOR. Mr. President, today I wish to congratulate and 
thank a true dedicated public servant upon her retirement. Ms. Carol 
Broadnax, a long-time resident of Alexandria, VA, is retiring on 
October 2, 2009, after 42 years of service in our Federal Government. I 
want to recognize Carol's outstanding service to the public, and 
especially, her 30 years of Federal service at the U.S. Consumer 
Product Safety Commission. Carol started out at the CPSC as a clerk 
typist and then as a secretary in the Directorate for Communications 
under Kenneth Rashid and Bessie Draper at the 18th Street location, and 
then she moved to the agency's Bethesda, MD, location. There, she 
worked in the Office of the General Counsel as the secretary for 
Richard Allen, general law division. Over the course of her long and 
distinguished Federal career she served as the secretary for the 
following general counsels: Martin Katz, Daniel Levinson, Acting 
General Counsel John Mackey, James Lacy, Acting General Counsel Susan 
Birenbaum, Clement Erhardt, Jerry Thorn, Eric Rubel, Jeffrey Bromme, 
Michael Solender, William DuRoss and John ``Gib'' Mullan. Since 2005, 
she has been the administrative officer in the Office of General 
Counsel at the CPSC to former General Counsel Page Faulk and Acting 
General Counsel Lowell Martin. Carol currently works for CPSC General 
Counsel Cheryl Falvey. We congratulate and thank Carol for her enormous 
contributions to product safety and for her outstanding Federal 
service.
