Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the labor career of Ms. Dorothy ``Dottie'' Ellisworth-Gannon. Since 1977 Ms. Ellsworth- Gannon, Assistant Director of the Legislative Department, has served the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers with distinction (IAM). Dottie has announced her retirement efffective June 1, 1999. This announcement culminates a career dedicated to advancing the interests of working men and women. She is currently a senior member of the AFL- CIO Administrative Committee, where she worked with affiliated union lobbyists to advance and protect common interests in the legislative arena. Dottie, considered one of Washington's premier lobbyists, has demonstrated great effectiveness and sensitivity in dealing with the needs and issues that particularly affect IAM members. She has also commanded the respect of Members of Congress from both parties who had the opportunity to work with her. On April 28, 1999, a retirement dinner will be held by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers for her dedication and outstanding performance for the past twenty-two years. Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in honoring Ms. Ellsworth-Gannon for her distinguished labor career and offer her my best wishes for the future. ____________________
