                         HONORING DOUG MENORCA

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LUKE MESSER

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, December 10, 2018

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a longtime friend and 
member of my staff, Doug Menorca, for his work in my office and his 
service to our state.
  Doug has served as my Chief of Staff throughout my entire time in 
Congress. His dedication to our team has been unmatched, and there's no 
doubt I could not have done this job without him. As the leader of our 
staff, he was the glue that held our team together. Doug has also been 
a trusted adviser and incredible friend to my family and me.
  On a personal note, words cannot express my gratitude to Doug for his 
help in this journey. Generations ago, Harry Truman famously said, ``if 
you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.'' That's a funny line, but 
Truman was wrong. I believe that if you want a friend in Washington, 
you better find a partner. And, I am proud and grateful that Doug 
Menorca was my loyal partner in this effort.
  The Messer family thanks the Menorca family for all their help 
through the years. We wish Doug, Diane and Sam continued success in all 
that God has planned for their family.
