  Ms. LOFGREN. Madam Speaker, Ranking Member Rodney Davis and I wish to

of the Officers (Clerk of the House, Sergeant at Arms, and Chief 
Administrative Officer) and of the Inspector General of the U.S. House 
of Representatives, and congratulate those who have reached the 
milestone of 25 years of service to the U.S. House of Representatives.
  These remarkable and steadfast employees are an amazing asset for the 
House of Representatives. The work they accomplish is essential to 
keeping the operations and services of the House running efficiently 
and effectively. The employees we acknowledge today are commended for 
their hard work, dedication, professionalism, and teamwork; support of 
House Members, their staffs, and their constituents; and for their 
contributions day-in and day-out to the overall operations of the 
House. These employees, whose work is often performed behind the 
scenes, possess a wide range of responsibilities and skills that 
support the legislative process, ensure the security of this great 
institution, maintain our technology and service infrastructure, and 
contribute to more efficient and productive House support operations. 
These devoted employees have accomplished many great and important 
things in a diverse range of activities, and the House of 
Representatives, its Members, its staff, and the American public are 
better served because of them.
  We recognize and honor the individuals named below for 25 years of 
loyal service to the House. Collectively, the employees listed below 
have provided 100 years of service to the U.S. House of 
Representatives.
  Anne Binsted, Office of the Chief Administrative Officer.
  Kenneth Burch, Office of the Chief Administrative Officer.
  Philip Hamner, Office of the Chief Administrative Officer.
  Cynthia Hibbs, Office of the Chief Administrative Officer.
  On behalf of the entire House community, I want to once again 
congratulate, acknowledge, and thank these employees for their 
professionalism and commitment to the U.S. House of Representatives as 
a whole, and in particular to their respective House Officer, the 
Inspector General, and collaboratively across these organizations. 
Their long hours, hard work, diverse skills, and team spirit are 
invaluable, and their years of unwavering service and dedication to the 
House set an example for their colleagues and raises the bar for the 
employees who will follow in their footsteps. I applaud all our 
honorees, and I am proud to stand before you and our great nation on 
their behalf to recognize the importance of their public service.
