                    UPON RETIREMENT OF JEWELL DEESE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ROBERT W. NEY

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 28, 2005

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, on the occasion of her retirement, I would like 
to thank Jewell Deese for her outstanding service to the U.S. House of 
Representatives over the past 28 years.
  Throughout the years, Jewell has made significant contributions to 
the financial management of U.S. House of Representatives' accounts and 
the processing and oversight of the staff payroll. She began her career 
with the House on July 5, 1977 and has served this great institution in 
financial, benefits, and payroll positions within the offices of both 
the Clerk of the House and the Chief Administrative Officer. She has 
held the positions of General Clerk in the Office of Finance, 
processing the daily receipts for the House Restaurant system, and has 
held various positions in the Office of Personnel and Benefits. She 
will retire from her current position of Payroll Counselor in the 
Office of Human Resources. During the past 26 years as an Office of 
Human Resources Payroll Counselor she has provided financial and 
payroll guidance to every entity of the House, assuring that all House 
staff is paid accurately and on time each month. Her payroll and 
financial acumen have enabled House entities to make critical decisions 
related to staff payroll issues. She has also provided many years of 
benefits and payroll support and guidance to the countless House staff 
members who have worked in this great institution throughout the years.
  On behalf of the entire House community, I would like to extend my 
congratulations to Jewell Deese for her many years of dedication and 
outstanding contributions to the House staff payroll function. I wish 
Jewell and her husband Gregory many wonderful years in fulfilling their 
retirement dreams.
