         HONORING THE RETIREMENT OF REPRESENTATIVE MIKE McNULTY

                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                        HON. CAROLYN B. MALONEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 22, 2008

  Mrs. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, today we recognize and salute 
the contribution of Mike McNulty as he prepares to retire as one of our 
best.
  Since I arrived in the House, I have been proud to stand with Mike, 
as he fights for New York's working families.
  He has carried on his family's tradition of public service since 1969 
when he first won office--at age 22--as Green Island Town Supervisor. 
Elected to Congress in 1988, he has distinguished himself as a member 
of this House over the past 20 years, fighting for the needs of his 
Albany-based district.
  As Chair of the Social Security Subcommittee of the Ways and Means 
Committee, he has protected Social Security from misguided attempts to 
privatize it, putting the retirement of millions at risk.
  I'm glad to have had the honor to serve with Mike McNulty, and wish 
him a long and happy retirement away from the House.
