                        TRIBUTE TO WILLIAM HYDE

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize William Hyde, a 
legal fellow in my Washington, DC office for all of the hard work he 
has done for me, my staff, and the State of South Dakota.
  After graduating from the University of San Francisco in 2002, 
William joined the U.S. Army. He was stationed abroad multiple times 
and served a combat tour in Iraq. In 2009 William received his M.A. 
from Stanford University, earning summa cum laude distinction. 
Currently, William is attending Harvard Law School in Cambridge, MA and 
is serving as a Blackstone legal fellow through the Alliance Defending 
Freedom. William and his wife, Celeste, are the proud parents of a son 
William.
  I extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to William for his 
service to our country and the work he has done on behalf of the people 
of South Dakota. Bill is a consummate professional with excellent legal 
research, writing, and analytical skills. I wish him continued success 
in the years to come as he embarks on his legal career.
