“Ms. CLARK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I rise to salute the extraordinary public service of my Policy Director, Robin Juliano, as she completes her latest tour of duty on Capitol Hill. I know I am joined by both Members and staff, across the House and Senate, in my immense gratitude for this incomparable maestro of the legislative process--who has spent her career mobilizing the powers of this institution to deliver for American families. I am in awe of Robin's talent and intellect, her generosity and kindness, and her unshakable belief in our capacity to build a more perfect union for our children. That belief fueled a journey that has taken her to the White House and both chambers of Congress: getting her start with the legendary Barbara Mikulski; waging appropriations fights alongside Tom Harkin, Nita Lowey, and Rosa DeLauro; and advising the President of the United States on his National Economic Council. Robin's leadership on Team Clark has left a lasting impact and legacy of service. Robin is so beloved throughout this institution, and we will miss her dearly. On behalf of everyone here in the People's House, I offer my deepest thanks and best wishes to Robin, Ben, Oliver, and Elise. [[Page E193]] ____________________”

“Ms. CLARK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to warmly welcome the spiritual head of the Eastern Orthodox Church, His All- Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, to Washington, D.C. The longest-serving Archbishop of Constantinople in the history of Christianity, the Ecumenical Patriarch will arrive in the United States this month to receive the distinguished Templeton Prize. This prestigious award will be presented in recognition of his ``pioneering efforts to bridge scientific and spiritual understandings of humanity's relationship with the natural world, bringing together people of different faiths to heed a call for stewardship of creation.'' Guiding the world's 300 million Eastern Orthodox Christians since his election in 1991, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew has been a powerful voice for our common responsibilities to one another--our shared obligation to defend the freedom, dignity, and wellbeing of our neighbors and of future generations. I am especially grateful for the impact his leadership has had on Orthodox Christians across the United States, particularly the more than 600 families at St. Demetrios Church in Weston, Massachusetts. For decades, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew has had the deepest respect of the American people and of this institution--an abiding admiration reflected in Congress' decision to award him the Congressional Gold Medal in 1997. Today, the Ecumenical Patriarch continues to bring together people of all faiths in the pursuit of peace, mutual respect, and a future more worthy of our children. I join my colleagues in commending his invaluable work, and I proudly join my Orthodox constituents in welcoming him back to the United States. ____________________”
