                                 ______

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 17, 2010

  Mr. GORDON of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor Amy 
Taylor and thank her for her tremendous service to Tennessee's Sixth 
Congressional District. After serving as my executive assistant for 4 
years, Amy is leaving for a new position on Capitol Hill.
  Amy first came to my office as a summer intern in 2005 when she was 
still an English major at Middle Tennessee State University, my alma 
mater. It was clear to me and to my staff that she was bright, capable 
and eager to learn more about the inner workings of Congress.
  When her internship ended, we didn't forget her skill for the work of 
the congressional office and her loyalty to her Middle Tennessee roots. 
When a position became open in the office around the time Amy was 
graduating, I was happy she accepted and made the move to Washington. 
Throughout her time here, she has brought remarkable capability, talent 
and good humor to a challenging job.
  Madam Speaker, I simply can't say enough about the outstanding job 
Amy has done while working in my office. Her knowledge of the district 
has been a great asset, and her positive attitude has enabled her to 
have a good and quick rapport with constituents, her coworkers and 
virtually anyone she meets.
  It's been a pleasure having Amy on our staff. While my staff and I 
are sad to see her go, we're fortunate that she won't be going far. Amy 
will be moving on to the office of my colleague Mr. Lincoln Davis of 
Tennessee's Fourth Congressional District, where she also has family 
roots. I hope Mr. Davis and his staff appreciate how lucky they are to 
have her.
  Amy, I thank you for your hard work and good advice, and I wish you 
all the best in your continued service to the Volunteer State.

                          ____________________
