                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 3, 2011

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, public service done honestly and well is a 
boon to our citizens. For 37 years Rubye Windram has adhered to those 
principles, serving the people of New York at the Social Security 
Administration. Ms. Windram is now retiring with her numerous 
performance awards, including two Commissioner's Citations and three 
Regional Commissioner's Citations.
  Ms. Windram started working for the people on September 10, 1973 as a 
Claims Representative in the Boro Hall Field Office in New York. Two 
months later she transferred uptown and in 1978 she was named 
Operations Analyst and after another 2 months she was promoted to 
Operations Supervisor in East Harlem. She was named Branch Manager of 
the West Farms office and 4 years later was named Assistant District 
Manager in the North Bronx.
  She continued her ascent at SSA and in 2003 she joined the Regional 
Office staff, becoming Deputy Assistant Regional Commissioner for 
Management and Operations Support. Throughout her career Ms. Windram 
used her growing and extensive knowledge of field operations to serve 
the agency and the public.
  In retirement, Ms. Windram plans to travel and spend more time with 
her family. She also plans to share her experience and knowledge by 
teaching. I join her colleagues in wishing her the very best in 
retirement and in thanking her for her years of serving the public so 
admirably and well.
