           HONORING THE SERVICE AND DEDICATION OF TED CANTER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BART GORDON

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 30, 2010

  Mr. GORDON of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
service and dedication of Ted Canter, a member of my staff who is 
leaving my office to pursue a law degree at Emory University.
  Ted grew up in Maryland and graduated cum laude from Vanderbilt 
University with a degree in English. After getting his start on the 
Hill with the office of Senator Tim Johnson, Ted joined my office as a 
Legislative Correspondent last fall and was soon promoted to 
Legislative Assistant. Ted was a welcome addition to the office from 
the start. He handled his legislative work skillfully and was good-
natured to professional contacts, constituents and coworkers alike. His 
unflappably good manners on the phone were renowned among our staff.
  As a Legislative Assistant for education, housing, agriculture and 
other vital domestic issues, Ted has been a valuable resource to me and 
to constituents with concerns in these areas. He transitioned easily to 
the position, quickly grasped the intricacies of the issues, and speaks 
to the legislative process with the confidence of a veteran staffer. 
Ted's dedication and enthusiasm for the job helped me to advance my 
legislative priorities and better serve my constituents.
  Madam Speaker, I am certain the qualities that made Ted a fine 
staffer will make him an equally fine fellow lawyer, and I wish him all 
the best in the future.
