  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Angela Z. McCollough, an 
employee of the Congressional Budget Office, who is retiring on June 3, 
2011 after nearly 40 years of service to the Federal government. Angie 
started her federal career in 1972 when she began working for the 
Environmental Protection Agency. In August of 1975, Angie joined the 
Congressional Budget Office, just a few months after CBO was founded. 
From 1975 until 2008, she served as the secretary and administrative 
assistant to the Assistant Director of the Natural Resources and 
Commerce Division (since renamed the Microeconomic Studies Division). 
In October of 2008, Angie was promoted to Executive Assistant to the 
CB0 Director.
  Angie has been an invaluable member of the CB0 team. She received two 
CB0 Director's Awards--in 1984 and again in 2003. She has also received 
several STAR awards for her work in the Microeconomic Studies Division 
and the Office of the CBO Director. Angie was honored in 2001 for her 
role in recreating CBO's timekeeping and payroll system and for 
ensuring that CBO's employees were paid during that difficult period in 
the Fall of 2001 when the Ford House Office Building, where CBO is 
located, was closed for the anthrax investigation in the weeks 
following the tragic events of 9/11.
  Angie is one of the longest serving employees in the history of the 
Congressional Budget Office. Her tenure at CB0 spans the agency's 
lifetime. She has served under all 8 CB0 Directors. And throughout her 
time at CBO, Angie has exemplified the highest standards of dedicated 
public service. I thank her for her service and wish her all the best 
in her retirement.
