Whereas, in her eighteen years of working with the House of Representatives, Ruby H. Leverette, with the help of her able staff, has consistently and cheerfully borne the immense and stressful responsibility of overseeing the requests generated by the one hundred and twenty-four members of the House who all need their work done "yesterday"; and

Whereas, in the position of Word Processing Supervisor, she has demonstrated exceptional skill as a manager by ensuring effective scheduling and rapid completion of projects, and a well-trained and productive Word Processing Center staff; and
