            TRIBUTE TO CONGRESSIONAL CHIEF OF STAFF TIM HUGO

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BUD SHUSTER

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 25, 1999

  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a man who 
has worked for me over the past twelve years. Tim Hugo, who has served 
as my Congressional Chief of Staff for more than three years will be 
leaving my office this month. Tim has accepted an excellent opportunity 
as Executive Director of a new high technology trade association, 
CapNet in Washington. Tim has done an absolutely outstanding job for me 
during the past three years.
  A 1986 graduate of the College of William and Mary, Tim began working 
in my Congressional office in 1987. Tim has held various positions on 
my staff, from Legislative Assistant to Legislative Director to Chief 
of Staff. During the past twelve years Tim has pursued other endeavors 
which included serving in the U.S. Army as an Intelligence Specialist, 
and as a Special Assistant for the Assistant Secretary of Defense in 
the Pentagon. In addition, Tim served as Legislative Director for 
Congresswoman Jennifer Dunn and as a Professional Staff Member on the 
Committee on House Administration.
  As a fourteen term member of the House of Representatives, Tim has 
stood with me as a staff member for nearly half of my career in 
Congress. I place great value on the hard work of the people on my 
staff, but in no other position do I demand more than that of the Chief 
of Staff. Tim has carried a great deal of responsibility and 
demonstrated the skills it takes to be a caring and vigilant public 
servant. Tim has been an exemplary Chief of Staff. He is a person I can 
count on in the heat of the battle to make positive things happen for 
the citizens of the Ninth Congressional District and his contributions 
to this office and to the residents of my district will not be 
forgotten.
  I thank Tim for his leadership and devotion and wish him well on his 
new career. He assumes his new position with my full support and 
confidence. I wish Tim, his wife Paula and daughter Katie all the best. 
I want them to know that Tim will be greatly missed.
