                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 14, 2015

  Ms. LINDA T. SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to thank 
Deborah Mayer for her service to the Committee on Ethics as its 
Director of Investigations. Since 2011, Ms. Mayer has lent her 
experience as a skilled lawyer and manager to the Committee's important 
work of enforcing the House ethics rules. She managed a team of 
attorneys and investigators that successfully handled a busy docket of 
investigations.
  During that time, she provided wise counsel to the Committee Members, 
guiding us through complicated issues and difficult choices. She 
instilled in her team a strong sense of the value of public service and 
a dedication to finding the truth, with fairness and impartiality. 
Deb's entire career has been dedicated to public service--as a 
paramedic, in uniform, and as an attorney.
  Although she is leaving the House, she will continue her impressive 
record of public service as staff director for the Senate Ethics 
Committee. As she begins her new role, we pause to note that we will 
miss her leadership and her talents, but we know she will remain our 
friend. Congratulations, Deb, and good luck.
