                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JAMES P. MORAN

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, April 2, 2014

  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to extend congratulations to my 
constituent, Iram Ali, on her appointment to the Senior Executive 
Service at the Department of Defense as the White House liaison. Iram 
served in this body as a distinguished professional staff member on the 
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence under Chairman Reyes. 
After briefly working in the Senate, Iram was recruited by the Obama 
Administration to serve in the Department of Defense as the legislative 
lead for the Under Secretary for Policy.
  She now returns to the Department with the duty of ensuring the 
President has the right personnel in place to implement his policies, a 
position of great responsibility and distinction. As one of the few 
Muslim-Americans serving in such senior positions, Iram represents the 
finest qualities of a public servant and is an asset to her nation. I 
am honored to have her as a constituent, and I wish her all of the best 
in her new position.
