  As a Senior Software Engineer in the House Information Resources 
Information Management Directorate's Applications Support Branch, John 
made significant contributions as a team member in the implementation 
and enhancement of the Fixed Assets and Inventory Management System 
(FAIMS). FAIMS is a mission critical system used by the Chief 
Administrative Officer to collect, record and report official financial 
information on fixed assets, generate related payments, and report on 
Accounts Payable, Purchasing and General Ledger activities.
  John has been a valuable, loyal, hardworking and customer-oriented 
employee, who takes pride in consistently delivering quality products 
to customers. His great attention to detail and passion for his work 
have resulted in special recognition for his work on FAIMS and FMS. 
John has dedicated himself to ensuring that the needs of his customers 
in the Office of Finance, House Support Services, the Sergeant at Arms, 
the Congressional Budget Office, the Office of the Clerk, and the 
Committees are met. John's adaptability, his extensive knowledge of 
software engineering, and his excellent relationship with his customers 
were invaluable to deploying and enhancing FAIMS.
  On behalf of the entire House community, we extend congratulations to 
John for his many years of dedication and outstanding contributions to 
the House of Representatives. We wish John many wonderful years in 
fulfilling his retirement dreams.
