“On that note, I specifically thank the staff of Ranking Member Enzi's office. I thank Frank Macchiarola, Chuck Clapton, Keith Flanagan, Melissa Pfaff, Grace Stuntz, Katy Spangler, and Riley Swinehart. I know they have developed a close working relationship with my staff throughout the year, and I am sincerely grateful for their dedicated efforts. I thank my own staff on the HELP Committee, who have spent many a night, long days, and weekends with Senator Enzi's staff and other Members' offices working to come to consensus on the critical policy issues in this legislation. I thank our staff director, Dan Smith; his assistant, Pam Smith, who, by the way, will be very shortly taking over as our new staff director. Dan Smith is leaving our staff and going into the private sector. Pam Smith will be taking over as our new staff director. I also thank Jenelle Krishnamoorthy, who heads our health division, for all of the tireless work she has put in. I can't thank her enough for all her hard work. I also thank Elizabeth Jungman, Bill McConagha, Kathleen Laird, Kathleen Wise, Dan Goldberg, Justine Sessions, Kate Frischmann, Elizabeth Donovan, Lory Yudin, Frank Zhang, and Evan Griffis. Each of them has done a remarkable job. I thank them from the bottom of my heart for getting this legislation through.…”
