I rise today to commend Dr. James Billington and the employees of the Library of Congress, particularly those working in the Congressional Research Service. On almost a daily basis, my staff and I rely on the expertise and wealth of knowledge that that staff provides. Since CRS employees work across the street from us, over in the Library, their dedication and work often go unnoticed. So thank you to all of you at CRS. In particular, I would like to thank a few individuals who have been extremely helpful to my office: Mr. Wayne Riddle in education; Mr. Christopher Bolkcom in National Defense; Ms. Kerry Dumbaugh in Foreign Affairs; Mr. David Brumbaugh in Public Finance; Ms. Barbara Leitch LePoer in Foreign Affairs; and yesterday, Mr. Len Krueger and Ms. Angela Gilroy in Telecommunications. Madam Speaker, I commend these individuals for their important and tireless service to the Congress and to our Nation.
