                       Thursday, December 9, 2010

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, on the occasion of her 
retirement September 23, 2010, we rise to thank Ms. Marion Pacic for 
outstanding service to the U.S. House of Representatives. For the past 
35 years Marion has served this great institution as a valued employee 
of House Information Resources (HIR) within the Office of the Chief 
Administrative Officer (CAO).
  Throughout her career with HIR, Marion has held many positions of 
increasing responsibility. She began her career at the House in 
November 1975 as an Administrative Assistant for HIR. Marion joined the 
Digital Equipment Corporation ``Office Automation Project'' as an 
applications analyst helping to develop user requirements and teaching 
Member and Committee staff to use software designed to keep track of 
constituent correspondence, office accounting, personnel management and 
committee calendar publication. Marion's technical, analytical and 
communications skills served her well in her efficient management as 
Deputy Manager of the Member Services Division in 1989. She became 
Manager of the Technical Support Representatives in 1994 and held that 
position until accepting the position of Acting-Director of Client 
Services in 1997. She assumed the position of Manager, HIR 
Telecommunications in June 1999 and during her tenure of 11 years, 
wireless service expanded almost ten-fold from 1,700 to over 11, 000 
customers in the House. Marion's unending commitment to opening the 
first wireless kiosk in the House has made wireless support more 
available to Members and their staff. Her peers and co-workers will 
miss Marion's professionalism and friendly manner.
  On behalf of the entire House community, we extend congratulations to 
Marion for her many years of dedication and outstanding contributions 
to the U.S. House of Representatives. We wish Marion many wonderful 
years in fulfilling her retirement dreams.
