                         Monday, June 16, 2003

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, on the occasion of his retirement on July 7th, 
we rise to thank Mr. Michael Elliott for his outstanding service to the 
U.S. House of Representatives over the past 16 years.
  Over the years, Mike has provided outstanding customer support to 
Members, Committees, Leadership and Support Officers of the House. He 
began his career with the House on March 25, 1987 and served this great 
institution in numerous capacities, most notably with House Information 
Resources (HIR) under the office of the Chief Administrative Officer.
  In 1987, he was hired as a User Support Specialist to provide 
technical support; specifically hardware troubleshooting and repairs 
for PCs, printers, monitors and system units in all House offices. In 
this position, Mike became a certified Apple Macintosh technician and 
served as Team Leader for all Macintosh support. He remained in that 
position until 1995. Since 1995 he has worked as a Technical Support 
Representative servicing Member offices. Mike is highly skilled and 
very proficient in providing office automation and technical services 
to House offices. His professionalism and work ethic is a true 
demonstration of excellence and dedication to providing passionate 
customer service. His technical skills and breadth of knowledge of 
House office operations enabled Mike to provide and advise others in 
providing effective resolutions.
  I know all of you join me in extending our thanks and appreciation to 
this invaluable member of the House family. We wish the very best to 
Mike and his wife Susan as they pursue the next phase of life.
