                     TRIBUTE TO MAJOR WILLIAM GORBY

  Mr. MANCHIN. Mr. President, today I wish to acknowledge the service 
of my former defense fellow MAJ William Gorby, who is coming to the end 
of his assignment as part of his experience in the Army Congressional 
Fellowship Program.
  Mike joined my office in 2014, and immediately, his dedication, work 
ethic, and intelligence made him a trusted voice on my legislative 
team. A proud member of the West Virginia National Guard, Mike has 
deployed multiple times in defense of our country, and through his 
service, our Nation is a safer place. Most importantly, Mike is

also a devoted husband and father, and I have had the pleasure of 
watching his family grow over the last several years.
  As Mike moves on to another assignment outside the realm of 
legislation, I want to extend my thanks for his service and wish him 
and his family continued success in his future endeavors.
