                       TRIBUTE TO ANTHONY ZAGAMI

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. NICK J. RAHALL, II

                            of west virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 13, 2006

  Mr. RAHALL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Anthony J. 
``Tony'' Zagami, a true public servant who will retire from the U.S. 
Government Printing Office at the end of this year.
  I have known Tony since the mid-1960s, when I was an intern in the 
office of Senator Robert C. Byrd, D-WV, and Tony was a Senate page. 
Over the years, Tony has been a great friend to me, to my family and to 
the people of West Virginia, and he will certainly be missed here in 
the legislative branch.
  However, let no one argue that Tony has not earned his retirement. 
After spending 25 years working for the U.S. Congress, Tony left 
Capitol Hill to become the General Counsel of the GPO. When he departs 
at the end of the year, he will have set a record as the GPO's longest-
serving General Counsel.
  Throughout his career, both here on the Hill and at the GPO, Tony was 
known for his dedication and commitment to public service. He has been 
the recipient of numerous awards and recognitions for outstanding 
performance and achievement.
  I thank Tony for his outstanding service and for his friendship over 
years. The qualities he embodies are getting harder and harder to find 
nowadays.
  May God bless this admirable man and his family as he begins his next 
chapter.
