                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 21, 2007

  Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Madam Speaker, I rise today with Ranking 
Member Bachus to recognize L. Carter Cornick III for his dedicated 
service at the United States Department of Housing and Urban 
Development.
  After serving nearly 5 years, an era of sorts, Mr. Cornick, the 
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Congressional and 
Intergovernmental Relations, will return to the United States Senate as 
Chief of Staff to Senator John Warner. In his new role, he will once 
again be working for the people of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the 
state he loves and ever-so-proudly calls home.
  During his tenure, we have had the pleasure of working closely with 
Mr. Cornick on many issues involving housing policy. We have relied on 
him to help turn some of the Committee's ideas into realities at HUD. 
Mr. Cornick has been helpful on several issues where it was important 
for us to work together.
  In addition to his work as the Department's primary advocate before 
Congress, Mr. Cornick should also be recognized for the deep admiration 
he has earned within the halls of HUD. He has taken the time to learn 
and understand HUD's many complex programs, and has worked with and 
relied upon the career experts for their advice and historical 
knowledge of the issues.
  We commend Carter Cornick for all of his tireless efforts in 
representing HUD before Congress, and congratulate him on his latest 
endeavor in public service. He will be missed.
