  Mr. SCALISE. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate my friend, Royal 
Roth, on his well-deserved retirement after a long and

happy career. On June 30, 2019, Royal will finish out seventeen 
rewarding years at the United Parcel Service (UPS), where he currently 
works as a Vice President in the UPS Global Public Affairs group.
  Royal is a welcome and familiar face to many of us. He found his way 
to Washington via the campaign trail, while working for the late First 
Lady Barbara Bush during the 1992 election. After the election, he 
landed at the National Republican Senatorial Committee before moving 
onto then-Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole's staff.
  After several productive years on Capitol Hill, Royal moved on to The 
American Trucking Associations before joining UPS in 2002. Royal has 
worked tirelessly on behalf of American workers, taxpayers, and 
businesses over the past decades. He retires at the height of his 
career, with an impeccable reputation and much hard-earned good will 
behind him.
  While Royal will be missed in Washington, he and Patrick will enjoy 
spending more time shuttling between New Orleans and Fairhope. As an 
avid University of Alabama football fan, I know we'll always be able to 
find him watching his beloved Crimson Tide play in Tuscaloosa (and 
sometime soon, lose to LSU). It is with many thanks for his friendship 
and years of service that Jennifer and I congratulate Royal and wish 
him well as we send him off on this new chapter of his life.
