Patricia Clark Boston Air Route Traffic Control Center

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

I rise in strong support of H.R. 1092, to designate the air route traffic control center located in Nashua, New Hampshire, as the ``Patricia Clark Boston Air Route Traffic Control Center.'' The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure unanimously reported this bill by voice vote just last month.

Mrs. Clark has worked at the Nashua center since it opened on March 31, 1963, and she has provided more than 50 years of government service. Mrs. Clark does administrative work at the center, including payroll, mail processing, and travel arrangements, and she has not taken a single sick day in her long career. Mrs. Clark's managers and colleagues at the Federal Aviation Administration initiated the idea of naming the facility to honor her for her valued service.

Mr. Speaker, this is an important bill, introduced by the gentlewoman from New Hampshire (Ms. Kuster) and other members of the New Hampshire delegation. This bill is a companion bill to S. 540, which passed the Senate by unanimous consent earlier this year.

I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting H.R. 1092, and I reserve the balance of my time.
