                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 13, 2017

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a long-time 
member of my team here in my Washington, D.C. office. Today marks Jim 
Gray's last day with our office, after years of service that began when 
he was just an intern in my first term. Jim returned to my office as a 
staff assistant even before he had graduated from the University of 
Maryland, and balanced the demands of life on Capitol Hill against the 
completion of his academic course of study. Jim has always brought to 
my team a commitment to service and a relentless desire to get the job 
done.
   Jim rose through the ranks to become one of my most trusted policy 
advisors, handling a broad policy portfolio including trade, defense 
and foreign affairs. He'll soon be departing Washington for sunny South 
Carolina, and I wish him the best. I know his parents, James Donald 
Gray Jr. and Teresa, and his sister Lindsay, are proud of him.
