       THANKING JAMIE FLEET FOR HIS SERVICE TO THE U.S. HOUSE OF

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ZOE LOFGREN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 28, 2013

  Ms. LOFGREN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the outstanding 
work of Mr. Jamie Fleet as Democratic Staff Director for the Committee 
on House Administration as he departs the House of Representatives next 
week for service in the U.S. Senate.
  During his tenure at the Committee, Jamie has used his wide-ranging 
skills to steadfastly guide the operations of the House with an eye on 
history while embracing the evolving operations of the House required 
in the 21st century. Jamie helped oversee the expansion of House 
technology options for personal and committee offices and a needed 
upgrade to the House's information security infrastructure. Whether the 
matter involved contested federal elections or contested parking spots, 
Jamie has worked to solve the multi-faceted issues facing the House 
with an informed touch. And, he has done so in a way that brought 
bipartisan applause while never losing sight of his commitment to the 
values of the Democratic Party. For that, Jamie has earned the respect 
of Members and staff on both sides of the aisle, as well as the 
officers of this House, for his fair approach to managing this often 
partisan institution.
  Mr. Speaker, I can say that Jamie has proven to be one of the most 
competent staffers I have had the privilege of working with during my 
more than twenty years working and serving in the House of 
Representatives. On behalf of my colleagues on the Committee on House 
Administration and in the House of Representatives, I thank Jamie for 
his dedicated and loyal service to this institution and wish him well 
in all his future endeavors.
