 IN HONOR OF DIANNA RUSKOWSKY AND HER 25 YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO 
           THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION AND THE WORKFORCE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOHN KLINE

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 9, 2013

  Mr. KLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dianna Ruskowsky 
for her 25 years of dedicated service to the House Committee on 
Education and the Workforce--and the American people.
  In a career spanning the terms of seven Committee Chairmen, Dianna 
Ruskowsky has distinguished herself as an exemplary steward of 
Committee resources and a true expert of her craft. She is routinely 
sought out for guidance and assistance from her colleagues on both 
sides of the aisle--from fellow Committees to House Leadership offices.
  Dianna's contributions take place behind the scenes, but her work 
does not go unnoticed. Her guidance and advice ensures everyone from 
our interns to our Staff Director has the knowledge they need to make 
wise decisions and adhere to the letter of the law.
  Dianna's attention to detail and dedication to the successful 
operation of the Committee are without equal. The American people can 
rest assured every penny of their tax dollars that flows through the 
Committee is accounted for and invested in the most efficient manner.
  Perhaps even more admirable is Dianna's own investment in the lives 
of the many young staffers she has taken under her wing over the years. 
Dianna routinely goes out of her way to help new staff members feel 
welcome and at home in our Committee family.
  Our Committee could--quite literally--not run without Dianna's 
service, and we continue to be grateful for all she does.
