                 HONORING THE SERVICE OF MS. TERRY ROWE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ZOE LOFGREN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, February 7, 2020

  Ms. LOFGREN. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate and offer 
gratitude to Ms. Terry Rowe who dedicated over 40 years of outstanding 
service to the House of Representatives. Terry started her career at 
the House as the Junior Secretary for the Member Services Division of 
House Information Systems; and her final years of service included her 
time as the Director of House Graphics Studio and the Art Director of 
House Creative Services.
   For many years, Terry led House Graphics and served the entire House 
community by providing excellent consultation and design services. 
Terry's colleagues at the CAO and the countless Congressional offices 
she worked with over the course of her four-decade career not only 
praised her insight and talents, but also commended her for her hard 
work, dedication, professionalism, and contributions, day-in and day-
out, to strengthen and protect the institution of the U.S. House of 
Representatives.
   In the aftermath of September 11, 2001 and the subsequent anthrax 
attack on Capitol Hill, Terry was a steady voice of institutional 
knowledge, and a ``can do'' spirit for an impromptu communications team 
that supported the CAO operations. She served as the liaison with the 
Government Printing Office and took care of the preparation and 
printing of all materials needed to support the House community through 
this very difficult time. Her ability to create partnerships and 
solutions enabled others on the team to effectively complete their 
tasks without un-do stress. All required materials would be ready for 
the House Executive Committee the following morning.
   During her service to the House, she provided the highest quality 
graphic design and artistic work to Members, Committees, Leadership, 
and support offices. Her work directly contributed to the House of 
Representatives carrying out the people's work by enabling Members to 
use high-quality visual aides to support their communications. Many 
counted on this service for effective, quality products that help to 
brand and market their services. Terry never said ``no'' to a service 
request and always delivered on time and with her famous smile. For 
those who have known Terry throughout her career on the Hill, it has 
been an honor to serve with her.
   After 40 years of service, Ms. Rowe will leave the House better than 
when she joined it, and her helping hand will be missed by many.
