Mr. President, I rise today to recognize Betty Emerson, who is retiring as the congressional liaison for North Carolina's Disability Determination Services. Ms. Emerson has served the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services for over 32 years, and her service to North Carolina is greatly appreciated. Ms. Emerson began her career at the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services as a unit office assistant. She then served as a backup to the medical and congressional liaison, and finally, as the congressional liaison for the North Carolina Disability Determination Services. She has consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to assist North Carolina's citizens. During her 12 years as congressional liaison, Ms. Emerson developed incredibly strong relationships across the State. Her career exemplified the highest standard of excellence, and I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service she consistently provided to the staff in my North Carolina offices on behalf of our citizens. I wish Ms. Emerson all the best for happiness and good health in the years ahead. ____________________
