         THANKING JACQUELINE AAMOT FOR HER SERVICE TO THE HOUSE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ROBERT W. NEY

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 26, 2005

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, on the occasion of her retirement at the end of 
January 2005, we rise to thank Ms. Jacqueline (Jackie) Aamot for her 
long career of outstanding service to the United States government, 
most recently here in the U.S. House of Representatives.
  Jackie began her career with the House ten years ago on January 4, 
1995, and served in positions within the Administrative Counsel and 
Finance offices of the Chief Administrative Officer. As the Finance 
Office's Director of Financial Counseling, she provided financial 
assistance and guidance to all Member and Committee offices including 
monitoring and projecting available fund balances and ensuring 
expenditures comply with both House and Committee rules and 
regulations.
  Jackie made significant contributions to the financial management of 
the U.S. House of Representatives, implementing consolidated electronic 
billings, which have lessened the administrative burdens both for 
Member and Committee offices and for the Office of Finance. In 
addition, she instituted more efficient processes that have resulted in 
the issuing of payments by the Office of Finance in less than two days 
following receipt of a voucher.
  On behalf of the entire House community, we extend congratulations to 
Jackie for her many years of dedication and outstanding contributions 
to the financial management of the House. We wish Jackie many wonderful 
years of fulfilling her retirement dreams.
