TRIBUTE TO CINDY HAYDEN<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><b> Mr. SESSIONS.</b> Mr. President, I rise today to bid farewell to my chief
counsel on the Judiciary Committee, Cindy Hayden, </span>who is with me today.
We all depend so much on our staff. They give of themselves, they give
of their time, they are committed to their beliefs, and serve America,
and we are never able to say thank you to all of them, but on special
occasions, I think it is important to do so. In saying my thanks to
her, I am saying thanks to all my staff, and to all the staff of the
Senate, who serve us so well, often without ever receiving credit.
I am pleased for her because she will be starting a new chapter in
her professional life, though her departure will be a tremendous loss
to my staff and the Senate at large. I am glad she will be in DC,
working close by, so we can call on her when we need her help.</font></pre><pre>
Cindy Hayden is an exceptional person. I feel a great loss at her
departure. Each day that we have worked together, she has shown an
unwavering dedication to our shared values, to her State, and to her
Nation. Her passion for the law is unmatched, and her commitment to the
rule of law is unwavering. I trust her judgment, her political
instincts, and her values. I have relied on her to manage my Judiciary
staff and the multitude of important issues that committee handles.
With so many issues arising on a daily basis, it is sometimes not
possible for me to personally be aware of them all. In everything from
judicial nominations, immigration, and any number of constitutional
issues, Cindy has exhibited an intellectual capacity, a tenacity to
principle, a strong work ethic, and a professional integrity that is
above reproach.
Before joining my staff, she had a distinguished academic career at
my undergraduate school, Huntington College, and the University of
Alabama School of Law. At Huntington, Cindy had an outstanding record
of academic excellence, receiving degrees in both chemistry and
political science. I think chemistry is pretty impressive and would
certainly get your attention when you looked at a resume. She then went
to <b>law school at the University of Alabama, where she graduated cum
laude and served as managing editor of the Journal of Legal Profession
and was a member of the moot court board. While in law school, she
clerked in the office of the Alabama Attorney General under my
successor, now Eleventh Circuit <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Judge Bill Pryor</span>, a brilliant legal
mind himself.</b></pre><pre><b>
Immediately after taking the bar, Cindy started working as counsel on
my staff, and for the past 6 years worked her way up to chief counsel.</b>
Her work on the Senate Judiciary Committee has been extraordinary, and
I believe the committee is a better place for her service. The
committee takes on an enormous number and wide variety of complex and
sometimes controversial issues. It is one of the most demanding
committees in the Senate. To be successful as an attorney on that
committee you must not only be hard working and intelligent and someone
who works very long hours, but you must also be a strong negotiator,
able to frame arguments in a passionate, respectful, and intellectually
honest way. She has done all that with seemingly effortless skill.</pre><pre>
I would note that the Judiciary Committee has attracted, and has
right now, a host of superior attorneys who serve all of us. They are
an excellent team, indeed. I would be remiss not to mention her stellar
work on immigration. Since she arrived in my office, Cindy has worked
tirelessly to protect the rule of law in this country, and as it turned
out, <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">she found herself at the center of a national debate on how to fix
the broken immigration system in our country</span>. Those of you who have
worked on either side of the issue have certainly had to deal with
Cindy and her relentless advocacy as she became the go-to person on
immigration, providing a wealth of information and knowledge for all
involved.</pre><pre>
Indeed, her ``alerts'' that were sent out--always meticulously
accurate--were picked up routinely all over the country by media
outlets as accurate depictions of developments, as they were occurring
so rapidly during that intense debate. So whether you were for her or
against her in principle, everyone can certainly agree she handled
herself with dignity, courage, tenacity, and capability during that
debate.</pre><pre>
Evidence of her dedication and influence on the committee and its
staff can be seen by what some of her colleagues have had to say about
her. And this is a good team, indeed. <b>Ed Haden, my former chief
counsel, who hired her, said:</b>
Cindy immediately made a difference when she started on the
committee. Her intelligence, work ethic, initiative, and
willingness to stand up and defend her position made her a
great asset. Her unflinching integrity and solid core values
made her a success as a lawyer and as a friend.And I would add that she was raised right. She has great values, as a
product of Cullman, AL. She grew up in the heart of Alabama and was
raised in an outstanding way.</pre><pre>
<b> William Smith, my former chief counsel and current executive director
of the Americans for Limited Government Research Foundation,</b> said the
following:
I have met and worked with a number of great lawyers. Cindy
Hayden is in a category more select than great. She is one of
the few superior lawyers I have met. I was privileged to
serve with her on the Judiciary Committee and I count her a
true confidant. Our motto in the office was, ``we work from
sun to sun; our work is never done.'' Cindy has lived up to
and surpassed that calling. On top of this, she is a great
American. The only group I know that will truly celebrate her
departure will be illegal aliens.That is what William Smith said. Brian Darling, director of Senate
Relations for the Heritage Foundation said this:
Cindy has been a hero to conservatives nationwide who
believe in the rule of law.[[Page S5354]]
<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> Without Cindy and ``Team Sessions''' tireless efforts to
educate the American public on the contents of the secretly
drafted amnesty bill, the bill may have become law.</span>Wendy Fleming, General Counsel for the Senate Steering Committee
says:
Cindy Hayden is a great American, a smart lawyer, and a
wonderful friend. During her time on the Judiciary Committee,
Cindy has displayed unwavering devotion to Senator Sessions,
the people of Alabama, and her conservative principles. I am
honored to have had the opportunity to work with Cindy.Brooke Bacak, former Counsel for me and current Chief Counsel for
Senator Coburn says:
I have had the privilege of knowing Cindy for 10 years.
Having first met in College Republicans, I learned about her
conservative convictions very early in our friendship. Cindy
has proven to be a true patriot, and I am grateful for the
role that she has played in the U.S. Senate. But beyond our
political and professional association, Cindy has become a
true friend. She and her husband, Matt, are two of the most
generous people I know. From birthdays to illnesses, the
Haydens always make time to be with their friends. Their
kindness has made a difference to me and many others. I wish
Cindy the very best in her new job and hope she knows how
much she will be missed.<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> Joe Matal, Counsel for Senator Kyl says:
If you look closely at the corpse of last year's
immigration bill, you will find a series of small squares
holes in its back. Those holes were produced by Cindy's
heels, stomping that bill to death.</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> Rita Lari Jochum, Chief Counsel for Senator Grassley</span>, says:
Cindy Hayden has served Senator Sessions, Alabama and our
country extremely well. A committed advocate for conservative
principles, Cindy has been tenacious in her drive to do what
is right. We all are going to miss a great friend and skilled
colleague.Lauren Petron, Chief Counsel for Senator<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> Brownback,</span> says:
Cindy is a principled conservative, a tireless advocate, a
talented lawyer, a trusted colleague, and a dear friend. She
is truly a person who lives out her values and beliefs. I
feel privileged to have worked with her on the Judiciary
Committee, and I am certain that she will be a great success
in all her future endeavors.<b style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">
John Abegg, Counsel for Minority Leader Mitch McConnell:</b>
Cindy continued a long line of outstanding chief counsels
for Senator Sessions. She is smart, principled, and tough,
but has a kind heart as well. She worked tirelessly to serve
Senator Sessions' Alabama constituents and the people of the
United States, and she did so with distinction.Alan Hanson, my Legislative Director says:
Cindy is a serious and accomplished professional with a big
heart and disarming wit. While I will miss being her
colleague in the Senate, I know Cindy will do well in all her
endeavors and wish her the best.<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> Ajit Pai, Deputy General Counsel for the FCC says:</span>
Staffers on both sides of the aisle would agree that Cindy
Hayden brings to the table a welcome combination of
intelligence, dedication, and likeability. It was my
privilege to have worked with her on Senator Sessions' staff,
and it will always be my privilege to call her a friend.<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Bradley Hayes, my Senior Counsel </span>says:
I have had the honor to work with both talented
professionals and close, personal friends. In Cindy Hayden,
I've had the rare privilege to work with an individual who
encompasses both. I have had the pleasure to work with Cindy
since the day I started in the Senate almost three years ago.
On a daily basis, I have been able to battle liberals with a
person whom I not only respect and admire, but someone whose
friendship I will value long after her departure. From her
first day in the Senate, Cindy has worked tirelessly to
promote conservative principles and has been a tremendous
asset for both Senator Sessions and the U.S. Senate. The
State of Alabama and the nation as a whole are better because
of her selfless work these past six years. Though she leaves
us to carry on the fight, the lessons she has taught me, and
others who have worked with her, will ensure that Cindy's
legacy of fidelity to the rule of law and conservative
principles will continue for years to come.These are just some of the statements from the staffers whom Cindy
has worked with that reflect their respect for her.
I will just conclude personally by saying I never had a staffer to be
more involved than Cindy in as sustained and intense a period of debate
as we find ourselves in on the immigration debate. It was a constant
every day struggle, and things were always rapidly changing.
We believe the bill on the floor, though it had a lot of support and
many good things in it, was not the right approach to solving our
illegal immigration problems in America. We decided someone had to be
active in that and raise those issues. Cindy was just fabulous, and I
depended on her. Day after day,<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> her work and the respect she engendered
throughout the country played a big role in the final result, in which
the bill was pulled down without passage in that form</span>.</pre><pre>
Mr. President, I appreciate the opportunity to share these words. As
I speak about her, again I want to note I share my thoughts and these
comments about so many of our staffers who serve America in the Senate.
I yield the floor, and I suggest the absence of a quorum.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order
for the quorum call be rescinded.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so
ordered.
