                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. KEVIN BRADY

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 12, 2016

  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with my colleague 
Ranking Member Levin to recognize the service of Sandra Strokoff, an 
exceptional lawyer and public servant, on the occasion of her 
retirement from the United States House of Representatives Office of 
Legislative Counsel. After seven years leading the office as 
Legislative Counsel for the House of Representatives, and having spent 
over 40 years in that office, Ms. Strokoff has had a hand in drafting 
many significant bills in her distinguished career. It is safe to say 
that she has played a critical role in drafting every major piece of 
trade legislation over a period of decades, and she has done so with 
considerable legal skill, a keen eye for detail, commitment to 
excellence, and enormous patience. She has also worked hard to train 
many others in her office and on my staff, for which I am grateful. I 
ask my colleagues to join me in offering my sincerest thanks to Sandra 
for her invaluable service and dedication to the U.S. House of 
Representatives and our nation.
