                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, December 17, 2010

  Mr. KENNEDY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the service of Mrs. 
Terri Alford to the U.S. House of Representatives. For 16 years Mrs. 
Alford has approached her service to the Congress with a 
professionalism, dedication, and joy that has inspired hundreds of 
staff and interns and undoubtedly improved the institution of Congress 
itself. Mrs. Alford's patriotism, love of the arts, and good humor 
enlivened the U.S. House of Representatives, and her infectious 
enthusiasm and good nature were a gift for all who had the pleasure of 
working with her. As Mrs. Alford prepares for retirement to spend more 
time with her husband, children, and grandchildren, we thank her for 
her dedicated service and wish her all the best in her future 
endeavors.
