“we are moving toward completion of the debate on this budget resolution. I want to be recognized for a minute, then the Senator from North Dakota is going to be recognized, and then we are going to return to discuss the specifics of the resolution for a brief period of time between myself and the Senator from North Dakota, and then we are going to hear from the leaders, and then, hopefully, we will vote. But before we proceed further, and in recognition of all the work that has gone into this resolution, I want to acknowledge one person on my staff who is moving on, and she has had a tremendous commitment to the Senate for many years. That is Gayle Osterberg. Gayle has worked in the Senate for 12 years, starting out as a staff assistant in the office of Senator Don Nickles, and rising her way up to the position of communications director for, first, the HELP Committee, when I was there, and subsequently went to the Budget Committee where she has done an extraordinary job. Gayle graduated from the University of Kansas in 1992 with a degree in communications and has effectively used her talent and knowledge of the media to rise up the ladder in the Senate. While she will be missed, Gayle is moving on to greener pastures and exciting times as vice president of communications for the Motion Picture Association of America. That should be a fascinating job and one she will do very well. We will all miss her on the Senate Budget Committee.…”
