      DEPARTURE OF THOMAS HUNGAR FROM THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. KEVIN BRADY

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 13, 2018

  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Thomas G. 
Hungar for his dedicated service to the House of Representatives and 
specifically to the Committee on Ways and Means.
  Mr. Hungar had a storied legal career before becoming General Counsel 
to the House in 2016. He quickly became a trusted advisor to House 
Members, Officers, and staff on a variety of legal issues, and he has 
vigorously defended the institutional prerogatives of the House.
  Of special importance to the Committee on Ways and Means, Mr. Hungar 
greatly assisted our Members and staff in fulfilling the Committee's 
important constitutional oversight role. His expertise and guidance in 
connection with the Committee's investigative and oversight activities, 
as well as its interactions with the Executive Branch, have been 
invaluable.
  The Committee has benefited greatly from Mr. Hungar's counsel and 
litigation expertise. Mr. Hungar served the House with distinction, and 
he will be greatly missed. On behalf of the many Members of the 
Committee on Ways and Means, and the Committee staff, I say thank you. 
We extend to him our very best wishes.
