HONORING CAROL DIXON
(Mr. CONAWAY asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Speaker, as the chairman of the Committee on Ethics
and along with my colleague, Linda Saanchez, the ranking member, and
other members of the committee, past and present, we rise today to
honor the life and work of Carol Dixon.
Every so often, through hard work, immense talent, and a zealous
dedication to the mission of this body, a staffer becomes an
institution of the House. Carol Dixon had achieved that status.
Known to many simply as the Ethics Lady, Carol's intelligence,
candor, and infectious laugh made the House a better, more honorable
place. As director of our Advice and Education section, Carol's command
of the ethics rules was unmatched, as evidenced by the large number of
Members and employees from both sides of the aisle who continually
sought out Carol to specifically ask for her guidance.
Her sudden passing this weekend is a tremendous loss for both the
Ethics Committee and the House.
