                       Monday, November 16, 2020

  Mr. SIMPSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
service of Jamie Neill who will be leaving my office at the end of this 
month. My staff and I have been very fortunate to have him in our 
office and our lives as he is a terrific staffer and incredible person.
  Jamie first started in my office as an intern in 2012. His 
willingness to do hard work made a very strong impression and the fact 
he is a genuinely nice person was a bonus. We kept our eye on Jamie's 
career and were fortunate to bring him back full time in 2013.
  Since then he has grown in his legislative role taking on increasing 
responsibilities of scope and importance to my district and the 
country. He has done a tremendous job working on healthcare, 
agriculture and resource issues for the past eight years and has 
achieved many successes.
  Jamie played a critical role in crafting and passing both the Farm 
Workforce Modernization Act and the Great American Outdoors Act. True 
to Jamie's nature, no problem or legislative obstacle was too great to 
overcome through ingenuity and hard work. Jamie's kind and honest 
demeanor kept people working together and allowed great accomplishments 
to happen.
  I will miss Jamie tremendously, but am very pleased he will be 
residing and working in Boise so he will not be too far away. I 
congratulate Jamie on a job well done, and wish him best of luck in his 
future endeavors.
