              THANK THE COMMITTEE ON WAYS AND MEANS STAFF

  (Mr. RYAN of Wisconsin asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. RYAN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I simply want to thank the 
incredible hard work of our staff. In particular, I would like to 
single out Angela Ellard, our chief trade counsel and staff director of 
the Ways and Means trade staff; Stephen Claeys, our trade counsel; 
Geoffrey Antell, our trade counsel; Neena Shenai, our trade counsel; 
Nasim Deylami, our trade counsel; Casey Higgins, our trade counsel; and 
Paul Guaglianone, our legislative assistant.
  If it weren't for the late nights, hard work of our hard-working, 
dedicated staff that go all too often unrecognized around here, this 
effort would not have been possible. I just want to say from the bottom 
of my heart how appreciative I am for their dedication and hard work.
