            FAREWELL, BEST WISHES, AND THANKS TO AMY SCHICK

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN W. OLVER

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 26, 2009

  Mr. OLVER. Madam Speaker, the Transportation, Housing and Urban 
Development Appropriations Subcommittee bid farewell earlier this week 
to Amy Schick who has served as the Subcommittee's Congressional Fellow 
over the past year. Ms. Schick returned to the Office of Occupant 
Protection and Impaired Driving at the National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration, where she will have her next assignment as part of the 
Presidential Management Fellow program.
  The Transportation Subcommittee was fortunate to have Amy as a part 
of the Subcommittee team. She did a superb job researching a variety of 
transportation issues; preparing hearing and briefing materials; and, 
managing the thousands of project requests that were submitted to the 
Subcommittee during the fiscal year 2009 appropriations process. In 
addition, Amy had lead staff responsibility for oversight of the 
budgets of the Surface Transportation Board and the Architectural and 
Transportation Barriers Compliance Board.
  Amy's organizational skills and unwavering positive attitude set a 
high standard for the Subcommittee. Her outstanding commitment to 
public service was evident not only in how she performed her duties on 
the Subcommittee but also through her dedication and brave service in 
the United States Army Reserves.
  I am profoundly grateful for Amy's service to the Subcommittee over 
the past twelve months and I am confident that she will go on to 
achieve great things at the Department of Transportation. I, along with 
my Subcommittee staff, wish Amy all the best in her future endeavors.
