                         HONORING TIM FRIEDMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. HENRY A. WAXMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 25, 2006

  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, we don't recognize often enough the talented 
and dedicated individuals who are critical to the operations of the 
House of Representatives. They safeguard our traditions and keep our 
great institution functioning. Tim Friedman is one of these essential 
individuals. I can't remember the House of Representatives without him 
and will miss him when he retires.
  Tim arrived in 1976 during my first term in Congress. He has been an 
invaluable part of the House during his exceptional service. Tim 
started in the Doorkeeper's Office and then worked as an Assistant to 
the Sergeant of Arms. But I'm sure most of my colleagues, like me, 
remember his work in the Democratic Cloakroom best.
  Tim has put the institution of the House first and has done all he 
can to help Members and staff do their jobs the best way possible. Now 
it's time for him and his wife Colleen to take a well-deserved break 
and play golf the best way possible. And, although their new home will 
be North Carolina, they'll keep an eye to the north and spend a good 
amount of their time off the links cheering the New York Yankees and 
Buffalo Bills on to greatness.
  We will miss Tim greatly and will remain indebted to him for making 
the House of Representatives a better institution.
