                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 29, 2015

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Paul Prouty for his accomplishments and distinguished career with the 
General Services Administration (GSA).
   Paul began his 42-year career with the GSA in 1971 as a real estate 
intern and has since risen through the organization to become one of 
the most respected leaders. Paul's accomplishments include providing 
key strategic direction regarding design, construction, management and 
maintenance of federal and leased properties, including 18 million 
square feet of office, laboratory and warehouse space.
   A key property in his portfolio is the Denver Federal Center located 
in Lakewood, Colorado--one of the largest concentrations of federal 
real estate property outside Washington D.C. Paul's vision for a more 
inclusive federal community led to major changes at the Denver Federal 
Center. Through Paul's leadership, the Denver Federal Center evolved 
into one of the most exciting campuses in the Denver metro area. The 
campus hosts the new St. Anthony's hospital, intermodal transportation 
hub and a focus on the campus becoming a sustainable federal and 
community center.
   I extend my deepest congratulations on your retirement from federal 
service. Thank you for your dedication to our community.
