                      Thursday, December 12, 2013

  Mrs. MILLER of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, on the occasion of his 
retirement at the conclusion of the first session of the 113th 
Congress, Ranking Member Robert Brady and I join together on behalf of 
the House of Representatives to express our most sincere gratitude to 
Mr. Daniel Strodel for his nearly three decades of outstanding 
dedicated service to the United States House of Representatives.
  Since 2010, Dan has been tapped by both Republican and Democratic 
leadership to oversee nearly every administrative aspect of the House--
a true testament to the overwhelming bipartisan confidence in is 
capabilities. During his tenure as CAO, Dan not only ensured the 
continuity of daily operations, but he spearheaded major internal 
reforms and IT modernization projects that significantly improved the 
House's IT security, operational efficiency, financial accountability 
and transparency.
  Prior to his tenure as CAO, Dan worked for the Committee on House 
Administration, U.S. Capitol Police and the House and Senate officers, 
including the Clerk of the House and the House and Senate Sergeant at 
Arms, in multiple capacities for the betterment and safety of the House 
community. As a senior advisor to the Committee, Dan provided 
invaluable counsel on operational matters related to the CAO, where he 
first started right out of college.

United States House of Representatives.
