 IN GRATITUDE OF DWIGHT SULLIVAN AND HIS YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE HOUSE 
                           OF REPRESENTATIVES

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JOHN CONYERS, JR.

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 29, 2015

  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
thank Dwight Sullivan for twenty years of outstanding service to the 
House of Representatives, including eight years as a Professional 
Staffer with the House Judiciary Committee Democrats.
  Dwight will be retiring this month and he will be missed by all who 
know him. I want to especially thank Dwight for his extraordinary work 
to provide high level communications services to the staff and Members 
of the Committee; developing and maintaining methods to process, manage 
and store communications data for the office; trouble shooting computer 
problems and recommending updated and cost effective resources; helping 
make the Judiciary Committee web site the envy of Capitol Hill; and 
serving as a liaison between the Judiciary Committee Democrats and 
House Information Resources (HIR).
  Dwight is a native of North Carolina, where he received his degree 
from Johnson C. Smith University, and where he met his wife of forty-
four years, Cheryl Sullivan. He still calls the Tar Heel state home, 
and spends his vacations there playing golf. In fact, those who know 
Dwight know that while his first love may be politics, golf is a close 
second. From Myrtle Beach to Boca Raton to Pinehurst, his love of golf 
has become legendary on Capitol Hill, where he has inspired many others 
to take up the game and shoot for par.
  A former project manager for IBM, Dwight began his Capitol Hill 
career in the office of my friend and former colleague, Congressman 
Melvin Watt (retired), and later honed his craft at HIR, before joining 
the House Judiciary Committee staff in 2007.
  Dwight will be missed for his ability to use good judgement to solve 
problems, for meeting technology challenges and keeping staff up to 
date on the latest and most effective approaches to keep communicating 
the work of the Committee. He will be missed as well for his wit, good 
humor, and loyalty. We wish him the best of luck in his retirement and 
extend to him and his family our deepest gratitude.
