on a wide range of significant matters with far-reaching institutional 
implications. Mr. Hungar has also been a trusted advisor to the Chief 
Administrative Officer of the House. Mr. Hungar has been a source of 
tremendous leadership and legal advice to the Committee and the House.
  On behalf of the Members of the Committee on House Administration and 
the Committee staff, we thank Mr. Hungar for his service to the House 
and wish him the very best as he takes the next step in his illustrious 
career.
