Rynearson labored through numerous drafts of this bill. and distinguished himself by his command of the process of legislative drafting. by his patience and perseverance. and by his commitment to excellence in creation of U.S. law. The Senate staffers which worked most closely with him have expressed deep gratitude for his spirit of teamwork on this yearlong endeavor. In addition. I wish to express gratitude to Polly Craighill. who also serves on the staff of Senate Legislative Counsel. Ms. Craighill stepped in at a critical moment in the development of this act and provided expert assistance requiring personal sacrifice on her part. Finally. I would like to recognize.the important contributions made by several of the senior staff at Congressional Research Service. Larry Eig. Legislative Attorney. Joyce Vialet. Refugee Affairs Expert. Vita Bite. Foreign Affairs Expert.
