                HONORING THE SERVICE OF MR. TOM CARROLL

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ZOE LOFGREN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 8, 2020

  Ms. LOFGREN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and offer 
gratitude to Mr. Tom Carroll. The Architect of the Capitol (AOC) is 
losing a valuable member of the Capitol Hill community with his 
forthcoming resignation on December 11, 2020. Tom has accepted an 
amazing opportunity to lead facility operations at Columbia University 
in New York City, and we wish him the best in his new endeavor.
  An engineer by trade and a respected U.S. Air Force veteran, Tom has 
been an indispensable member of the Architect of the Capitol's team 
since joining in 2009. He came on board first as Deputy Superintendent 
for House Office Buildings and quickly moved up to become the Chief 
Financial Officer responsible for ensuring sound financial stewardship 
and providing value-added analysis to give insight into the financial 
implications of program decisions. Tom was again promoted to Assistant 
to the Architect for Operations and Services in 2018, and he had the 
honor of serving as the Acting Architect of the Capitol from August 
2019 to January 2020. Tom's due diligence and leadership ensured 
hundreds of projects across the Capitol campus were delivered on-time, 
on-budget and with high quality.
  Tom's hard work and contributions to Capitol Hill will be greatly 
missed. Congress' loss is Columbia's gain.
