                         HONORING LINDSAY POTTS

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute and deeply thank on 
her retirement from our congressional staff Ms. Lindsay Potts of 
Toledo, Ohio, who, for nearly 3 decades of exemplary and extraordinary 
patriotic service to the people of our district, State, and Nation has 
turned in her retirement papers.
  I'd like to thank Lindsay publicly for her exceptional honesty and 
work ethic, her abiding kindness, her aptitude and inquiring mind, her 
patience, her fine writing skills, her insatiable intellectual 
curiosity. She truly is a renaissance woman.
  Lindsay is also a devoted wife to David Beckwith, and they are 
parents to two marvelous young people, Schuyler and Judson, and she is 
sister to Leslie and to brothers near and far.
  Lindsay's gifts are unmatched, her smile, her sparkle, her uncanny 
ability to connect to people from all walks of life and draw the best 
from them for community betterment, as well as empowerment of 
marginalized people in the days that she wrote ``People Building 
Neighborhoods'' for the National Neighborhood Commission.
  I wish her well, as does our entire staff, in the coming days and 
years. She will always have a home in our congressional family and will 
be missed by all who value her precious life. From the bottom of my 
heart and our hearts, Lindsay, thank you always. God bless you, Lindsay 
Potts.
