                       Sunday, December 30, 2012

  Mr. KISSELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the members of my 
Congressional Staff who have served with me over the past four years. 
As a Member of Congress, my greatest responsibility was to provide 
exceptional constituent services to our district, and my team did just 
that. My Washington, D.C. office was also in charge of all aspects of 
the legislative process, quite a daunting task. I could not ask for a 
more talented and dedicated team, and I take great pride in the work 
that each staff member has done on behalf of North Carolina's 8th 
District.
  My team has shown a strong sense of dedication to meeting the needs 
of our constituents. I greatly appreciate the support and friendship 
they have shown me during my years of service in Congress.
  Chris Kelley has served as my Legislative Director for the past year. 
In his time with the office, Chris has help to guide and implement the 
legislative agenda of the office. During his time in the office, Chris 
has covered issues including agriculture and environment. Chris cares 
deeply about the agriculture issues facing our nation. Having worked in 
the House for many years, Chris' commitment to the good of our nation 
is very evident.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing and 
thanking Chris for his hard work on behalf of North Carolina's 8th 
District, and the United States, and to wish him continued success in 
his future endeavors.
