                          TRIBUTE TO ROB NOEL

  Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I wanted to take a moment to thank a key 
member of my office who, after more than 4 years of service to the 
people of Florida, is leaving us tomorrow to pursue a new career 
opportunity.
  Rob Noel started in our office's communications shop, often rising 
before the sun to see what was in the news and to make sure my staff 
and I had the latest info on the issues of the day. Over time, his 
duties would grow, eventually becoming our speechwriter and deputy 
communications director.
  Rob is a talented writer and has been an invaluable part of our 
efforts to communicate the causes that are important to us, to shine a 
spotlight on injustices we see around America and the world, and to 
rally support for the ideas and solutions that we believe can make a 
difference for people.
  On behalf of myself, your colleagues, and the people of Florida, 
thank you, Rob, for your service. We wish you the best.
