PAYING TRIBUTE TO DAVID KAMENSHINE
______
HON. SCOTT McINNIS
of colorado
in the house of representatives
Monday, July 12, 2004
Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to pay tribute to David Kamenshine and thank him for his work as a Passport Services Agent with Northeast Passport Agency. His years of commitment and dedication as a public servant is certainly commendable and worthy of recognition before this body of Congress and this nation today. Along with my fellow Americans, I am grateful for all that he has accomplished during his years of service.
David Kamenshine started working for the United States federal government in 1969 with the Defense Department. Twenty years later, in October of 1989, he moved over to the Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs, Passport Services at the Northeast Passport Center in New York City. David diligently served his employer and was transferred to the New York Passport Agency in February of 1994 when the Northeast Passport Agency was merged into the New York Passport Agency. David has held several positions during his time with Passport Services, each time dedicating himself to providing the very best service for traveling customers. He assumed his current position as Customer Service Manager in 1996.
During my tenure in the United States Congress, David provided exceptional service to constituents of the 3rd Congressional District of Colorado. He worked hard to ensure that inquiries on behalf of my constituents submitted to the Northeast Passport Agency were addressed in a timely and thorough manner. David routinely demonstrated a willingness to assist beyond the standard response, demonstrating a genuine concern for the constituent while upholding the policies of the Northeast Passport Agency.
Mr. Speaker, it is clear that David Kamenshine has been an invaluable resource to many Americans. It is my honor to recognize his service and dedication before this body of Congress and this nation. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with devoted public servants like David. On behalf of the citizens that have benefited from the hard work and commitment he has given to the Northeast Passport Agency and constituents it serves, I extend my appreciation for his years of enthusiastic service.
