                     RECOGNITION OF MS. EMELIE EAST

<bullet> Mr. HOLLINGS. Mr. President, I would just like to take a 
minute to recognize Ms. Emelie East of our Appropriations Committee 
staff. Ms. East serves on the minority staff where she is responsible 
for assisting with four of our subcommittees, including the Commerce, 
Justice, and State Subcommittee.
  Emelie joined the committee this spring when we stole her from 
Congressman Norm Dicks. Emelie is a native of Seattle, WA, and a 
graduate of Trinity College in Connecticut.
  She has done an outstanding job in staffing this bill. Ms. East is a 
true professional. I can tell you that she is top rate. She is a credit 
to this committee and this institution.
  On behalf of myself and the subcommittee, I wish to recognize her for 
a job well done.<bullet>
