                        HONORING D. ERIC HULTMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. LEE TERRY

                              of nebraska

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 12, 2011

  Mr. TERRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor D. Eric Hultman who is 
retiring from my office as Chief of Staff after eight years of service 
to the constituents of the Second District of Nebraska and a career of 
service to all Americans.
  Eric, a graduate of Brown University and University of Nebraska 
College of Law, has served the public for over 20 years on Capitol 
Hill. He has been in senior positions with the House and Senate 
Judiciary Committees, a U.S. Senator, and a Member of U.S. House of 
Representatives.
  His long and respected career also included the position of Managing 
Editor for the Legislative Digest for the House Republican Conference 
and an attorney at several private law firms.
  He has worked tirelessly to make our country safer, to make our 
government more efficient, and to bring a sense of responsibility to 
Washington, DC. Even though Eric is a committed conservative, he knows 
the value of working with members from all political stripes. This 
philosophy has served my office well through the years.
  He is a devoted father and husband who somehow always managed to 
balance both family and professional commitments--a difficult task even 
for the best of us. But Eric always managed to find that balance 
through his positive attitude and hard work.
  I am proud of Eric's years of public service and am very appreciative 
of his hard work and friendship. I have also learned to be appreciative 
of his sense of humor, which during stressful times, has come as 
welcome relief.
  I, along, with all the other members of my staff will miss Eric for 
not only his patience, but his ability to have an answer for every 
question. His retirement is well deserved and we wish him the best as 
he starts the next chapter of his life.
