                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 17, 2020

  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize one of our finest House servants, director of the Office of 
Employee Assistance, Liz McBride. Throughout her nearly thirty-year 
tenure with the office she has worked tirelessly to meet the needs of 
Members, their families, and the staff of the U.S. House--often meeting 
outside of normal business hours to ensure they received the support 
they needed. As Director of the office, Liz has gifted the House with a 
new vision--expanding confidential counseling and bringing a new focus 
to health with the establishment of the House Wellness Center. 
Throughout this pandemic, Liz and her office have played an essential 
role in helping Members and staff work through what has been for many a 
difficult year. Liz is leaving us with a bright vision for the future 
and a legacy worth emulating. Her retirement is a genuine loss for us 
and this institution, and I am grateful for her years of dedicated 
service to our community.
