                      Wednesday, November 13, 2002

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, on the occasion of his retirement at the end of 
this year, we rise to thank Mr. Michael J. Buckley for his outstanding 
service to the U.S. House of Representatives over the past 26 years.
  Over the years, Mike has made significant improvements to the 
financial management of the U.S. House of Representatives. He began his 
career with the House on January 18, 1977, and served this great 
institution in numerous capacities, most notably in financial positions 
within the offices of the Clerk of the House and the Chief 
Administrative Officer. During the past six years, Mike has served as 
the Budget Director for the Office of Finance. In this position, he has 
provided financial guidance to every entity of the House, assisting 
with such critical functions as projecting annual budgetary 
requirements and monitoring House expenditures to ensure compliance 
with laws and regulations. Mike's financial expertise has enabled House 
entities to maximize the availability of funds to support critical 
House operations.
  On behalf of the entire House community, we extend congratulations to 
Mike for his many years of dedication and outstanding contributions to 
the financial management of the House. We wish Mike and his wife Robin 
many wonderful years in fulfilling their retirement dreams.
