           HONORING THE RETIREMENT OF MS. MARGARET HOSTETLER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. KEVIN BRADY

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 26, 2016

  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today, Margaret Hostetler ends her 
decades of service to the Committee on Ways and Means. Margaret has 
served the Committee for many years, first starting in 1987, and will 
be deeply missed.
  Most recently, Margaret worked on the Social Security Subcommittee 
staff, and is the Committee's all-time expert on budgets, trust funds, 
debt limits and more.
  Margaret's service to the Congress and the Nation extends back even 
before her time with the Committee to the early 1980s when she served 
on the House Budget Committee staff for then-Chairman Bill Roth of 
Delaware. She helped design the Thrift Savings Plan for federal 
workers, the original Gramm Rudman law and the 1986 tax reforms.
  Margaret is a walking encyclopedia of Committee and Congressional 
history, and we wish her the very best in the next phase of her life.
