           TRIBUTE TO LIEUTENANT KATHRYN ELIZABETH ROSENBERG

  Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, I wish to recognize and honor Lieutenant 
Kathryn Rosenberg, U.S. Navy, as she transfers from the Navy Office of 
Legislative Affairs.
  A native of Pennsylvania, Lieutenant Rosenberg was commissioned an 
ensign through the Naval ROTC Program upon graduation from George 
Washington University in 2008.
  Lieutenant Rosenberg, a surface warfare officer, has performed in a 
consistently outstanding manner under the most challenging of 
circumstances. Lieutenant Rosenberg served with distinction and gained 
extensive experience in the surface fleet during her first two sea 
tours. While assigned to the USS Stockdale (DDG 106) from June 2008 to 
November 2010, Lieutenant Rosenberg served as the pre-commissioning 
auxiliaries officer and combat information center officer while 
obtaining her surface warfare officer pin and engineering officer of 
the watch qualification. From March 2011 to December 2012, Lieutenant 
Rosenberg was assigned to the USS Vicksburg (CG 69), where she served 
as the fire control officer while qualifying as the anti-air warfare 
commander, force anti-air warfare commander, and force tactical action 
officer.
  Since January 2013, Lieutenant Rosenberg has served as a Senate 
liaison officer in the Navy Office of Legislative Affairs. In this 
capacity, she has been a major asset to the Navy and Congress. Over the 
course of the last 2 years, Lieutenant Rosenberg has led 21 
Congressional delegations to 36 different countries. She has escorted 
54 Members of Congress and 36 personal and professional staff members. 
She has distinguished herself by going above and beyond the call of 
duty to facilitate and successfully execute each and every trip, 
despite any number of weather, aircraft, and diplomatic complications. 
Her leadership, energy, and integrity have ensured that numerous 
challenging Senate overseas trips have

been flawlessly executed, to include an arduous trip to Afghanistan.
  This Chamber will feel Lieutenant Rosenberg's absence. I join many 
past and present Members of Congress in my gratitude and appreciation 
to Lieutenant Rosenberg for her outstanding leadership and her 
unwavering support of the missions of the U.S. Navy, the Senate Armed 
Services Committee, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senate Select 
Committee on Intelligence, and others. I wish Lieutenant Rosenberg 
``fair winds and following seas.''
