                           HONORING KIM RUBIN

  (Mrs. BACHMANN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BACHMANN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an extremely 
important person. Today marks 25 years that Kim Rubin has worked here 
on Capitol Hill.
  In the 1980s, Kim Rubin accepted an internship with former 
Congressman Jack Kemp from her home State of New York. She has come a 
long way since then. She has been with me, I am proud to say, since day 
one that I served in the United States Congress.
  I have never met anyone more loyal, more dependable, or more 
organized. Not only does Kim coordinate our office's schedule and those 
of our entire staff, she works diligently as our office manager.
  Somehow, she still has the time and energy to be a dedicated wife to 
her loving husband, Howie, and also to her two beautiful daughters, 
Lexi and Livi. She is also a volleyball coach, and her nickname is 
Coach K.
  As Kim says, her life is centered on faith, family, and pursuing what 
makes you happy. I don't know how Kim does it all, but it has been an 
honor to work with Kim Rubin for these past 8 years.
  While we will part ways after we both retire this year, I know I will 
have a lifelong friend in the indomitable Kim Rubin.
  Congratulations and thank you, Kim Rubin.
