                         HONORING NICOLE FOLTZ

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PAUL D. RYAN

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 16, 2018

  Mr. RYAN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, going back to our days at the 
Budget Committee, Nicole Foltz has been with me for every big 
legislative battle of this majority. She is a whip smart lawyer with a 
deep understanding and appreciation for the practices and precedents of 
this institution. Nicole long ago earned my trust, but as a leader of 
the House floor staff, all the parliamentarians, and members--
especially our presiding officers--have come to know Nicole as an 
indispensable advisor. She is the linchpin of the legislative process, 
skillfully managing the flow of major legislation from drafting to 
enrollment. When problems arise, she is the fixer, getting us back on 
track. Through it all, she has been the picture of Midwestern decency, 
which is what we will miss most about her. On behalf of the whole 
House, I thank Nicole for her years of faithful service, and wish her 
the best.
