                      Thursday, November 20, 2008

  Mr. LARSON. Madam Speaker, I rise to thank Michael Cronin for his 
three years of dedicated service to the House as Office Director of the 
Office of the Historian. Michael first came to the House in 1986 as an 
intern and then upon graduation from college, joined the office of 
former Rep. Timothy J. Penny of Minnesota. He left Capitol Hill in 1990 
but returned in 2005 to serve as Office Director for the reestablished 
Office of the Historian, under the direction of Dr. Robert Remini and 
Dr. Fred Beuttler. This month, Michael will continue his service to the 
People's House as the Administrative Director of the Office of the 
Inspector General.
  Madam Speaker, we, as Members, are indeed fortunate to have the 
services of talented individuals like Michael Cronin. I know I join the 
Historian of the House, Dr. Robert V. Remini, and the staff of the 
Office of the Historian in wishing him my best as he begins this new 
position.
