On the recordSeptember 30, 2004
I rise today to honor Linda Theil on her retirement from 33 years of public service as a staff member in the House of Representatives. When I was just starting my first term in Congress in 1993, Linda came to my staff. Her expertise and vast knowledge of education policy have been invaluable to me as a Member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. She has worked on legislation, including the Child Nutrition Act, the School Breakfast Pilot Program, Head Start, the Balancing Act, and Welfare Reform, to name only a few. Mr. Speaker, Linda Theil is the role model for what every single staff member should be, dedicated, hardworking, caring and devoted. Her presence will be missed but not forgotten. Thank you, congratulations, and best wishes, Linda.
