        THANKING DEAN AGUILLEN FOR HIS SERVICE TO THIS CONGRESS

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. RAUL M. GRIJALVA

                               of arizona

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 15, 2007

  Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, I rise to thank Dean Aguillen for the 
service he has provided to this Congress and the American people.
  Dean's final day with us is today; however, I believe that a 
friendship and working relationship will continue for years to come.
  During my first term in Congress, Dean was a great assistance to my 
office and me. He helped with the transition and acclimation from being 
a local county supervisor to Congress.
  Dean has accomplished quite a bit in his career within the Capital, 
but I want to take time to thank him for the way in which he became 
successful.
  Dean is an extremely hardworker and he does the multiple jobs and 
responsibilities with a smile, patience, respect, and understanding. He 
has taken care of all of the Democratic members, but I have also seen 
him take time to recruit and help young staff learn the ropes so they 
too can be successful.
  Dean has made a great impact on many Members and staff.
  I wish him the best of luck and know that success will continue to be 
a part of his life.
  Thank you Dean for your patience, kindness, and commitment to this 
country and to our community.
