                      Wednesday, January 29, 2020

  Mr. MEUSER. Madam Speaker, it is with great respect and appreciation 
that I rise today to honor Liz Paugh of Lebanon, who is retiring from 
the United States Department of Veterans Affairs after serving our 
nation's incredible veterans for over 30 years.
  Ms. Paugh began her career on December 11, 1989 at the Lebanon VA 
Medical Center in the Nutrition and Food Service Department. While 
serving in this role, she took great care to ensure Veterans meals fit 
of their diet and any medical needs. After, she was promoted to oversee 
Ingredient Control at the Lebanon VA. 20 years after her career began 
at the Lebanon VA, she accepted a position in Network Contracting 
Office 4 as a Purchasing Agent where she continued to support the 
Lebanon VA in a different capacity, through administrative contracting 
support. Throughout her long and distinguished career, Ms. Paugh 
faithfully provided heartfelt service to our Veterans.
  Although she is culminating an impressive and impactful career, I am 
confident that as she begins this new chapter, she will continue to be 
a positive influence and a dedicated member of our great community.
  On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives and the citizens of 
Pennsylvania's Ninth Congressional District, I ask my colleagues to 
join me in congratulating Ms. Paugh on her retirement and thank her for 
her many years of dedicated service to our Veterans and our great 
nation.
