                         Thursday, June 7, 2018

  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my outgoing Chief of 
Staff, Kyle Matous. Kyle grew up in Temple, Texas, and graduated in 
2007 from the University of Virginia, where he studied American 
Politics and completed his undergraduate degree in three years. 
Following UVA, he attended law school at Pepperdine University. During 
law school, Kyle clerked for the Ugandan Commercial Court in Kampala, 
Uganda.
  After law school, Kyle started working on the Hill as a Staff 
Assistant for the House Rules Committee for Chairman David Dreier in 
2012. Then when I became Chairman of the House Rules Committee in 2013, 
Kyle served as my Policy Assistant for nine months with the committee 
before moving to work for my personal office as a Legislative 
Assistant. Shortly thereafter, he rejoined the House Rules Committee as 
my Policy Director in 2014 and then he became my Chief of Staff on 
January 1, 2016.
  Kyle has been an exceptional staff member of both my personal office 
and the House Rules Committee. He has shown his dedication to promoting 
excellence and making the

workplace a fun place to be. I Thank him for all the support and 
goodwill he has shown each and every one of us over the years.
  We wish Kyle boundless success as he leaves the Hill to join the 
government relations team for the ONE Campaign. Congratulations, and 
best of luck.
