On the recordApril 14, 2011
today, after more than 20 years of service to the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, Rebecca Eyster will retire. Rebecca is one of the official reporters of the debates and proceedings in this Chamber. She is one of the many dedicated employees who are essential to the daily operations of the Senate. For more than 12 years, Rebecca has been part of the team that produces a verbatim transcript of all of the Senate floor proceedings. Before that, Rebecca spent 8 years in the House of Representatives in a similar capacity. These jobs can be very demanding. When speeches and votes go late into the night, our dedicated reporters like Rebecca are always here. They produce a historical record about some of the most important legislative debates in our Nation's history. I am proud to have worked with Rebecca and appreciate her important contributions to the Senate. I know I speak for the Senate family as we wish you the best in your future endeavors. ____________________
