        HONORING HOUSE STAFFER MIKE WIEHE FOR HIS PUBLIC SERVICE

  (Mr. TURNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. TURNER. Mr. Speaker, as elected officials, all of us who serve in 
this Chamber have the honor of representing our constituents in public 
service. And as elected officials, we are also fortunate that some of 
our best and most able Americans choose to serve their Nation and their 
communities by working in our offices as congressional staffers.
  In my office, I have a staffer who is leaving who I want to recognize 
here today.
  Mike Wiehe first began working for me when I served as Mayor of 
Dayton and has continued to work for me and for the best interests of 
his community for the greater part of 12 years now.
  Mike is a native of Celina, Ohio, and is a graduate of Celina Senior 
High School and of Wright State University. He has held literally 
almost every single position in my office: serving as scheduler, 
communications director, legislative assistant, military legislative 
assistant, legislative director, acting chief of staff, and finally, as 
district director and director of military affairs. He has excelled in 
each of these roles by always performing his job well and by leading 
his fellow staffers by example.
  Mike's last day in my office will be January 31. I ask my colleagues 
to join me in thanking Mike for his tremendous service and for the huge 
sacrifices that he has made over the years in pursuit of public 
service.
  Mike, we wish you all the best in all your future endeavors.
