I want to pay tribute to the lady who sits to my immediate right here, Mary Jane Wignot. She has been an effective, wonderful, intelligent staff member for the Subcommittee on Trade on the Committee on Ways and Means for many decades. She has made major contributions to the substance of legislation that has passed through our committee, complicated technical legislation. She epitomizes what is best in public service for our professional staff.
