“Mr. Speaker, in addition to financial support, the Association benefits enormously from the effort and leadership of many people. I want to thank the officers of the Association, Larry LaRocco, Jack Buechner, Jim Slattery and Matt McHugh, and the members of our Board of Directors and our Counselors for providing the excellent guidance and support necessary to oversee these activities. In addition, we are assisted by the Auxiliary of the Association, now led by Carol Sarpalius. We are particularly grateful for their help with the Life After Congress seminars, which are held each election year, and our annual dinners. Needless to say, our programs could not be so effectively run without the exceptional support of our staff: Linda Reed, who has already been mentioned, but deserves a second mention, our Executive Director, Peter Weichlein, Program Director, with special responsibility for the Congressional Study Group on Germany; Katrinka Stringfield, Executive Assistant; and Todd Thompson, Office Assistant. Many thanks to all of you.”
