                       Wednesday, January 6, 2021

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jeff 
Dorschner of the U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Colorado, for his 
more than 20 years of service to the state and people of Colorado.
  Throughout Jeff's time with the U.S. Attorney General's office, he 
has had many different responsibilities and roles--from Spokesman and 
Public Affairs Specialist to a Member of the Executive Management Team. 
He is best known and will be remembered for his hard work and 
dedication to the office and the people it serves.
  During his tenure, Jeff handled media relations for the office on 
issues large or small, and no matter what time or day of the week. This 
required Jeff to know about all office activities, stay up to date with 
major investigations and law enforcement events, and be well versed in 
all offices policies and programs. He served as a spokesperson on many 
diverse subjects, ranging from criminal law to civil law and financial 
litigation, and served as a credible voice on behalf of the U.S. 
Attorney and Assistant U.S. Attorneys. He developed long-standing, 
close relationships with members of the news media, referred to by many 
reporters upon his retirement as one of the state's ``top-tier'' Public 
Information Officers (PIO), always helpful, trustworthy and responsive.
  In his role in public affairs and as part of the Executive Management 
team, Jeff provided sound advice and counsel to the U.S. Attorney as 
well as responded to citizen inquiries. On occasion, Jeff would also 
handle inquiries from Members of Congress or state or local elected 
officials. Jeff was on duty on 9/11/2001 and was subsequently assigned 
as the Chief Information Officer for the U.S. Attorney's Anti-Terrorism 
Advisory Committee (ATAC).
  During his tenure with the U.S. Attorney's Office, Jeff coordinated 
more than ten different visits by other U.S. Attorneys General as well 
as visits by the Deputy Attorneys General of the United States. He 
served four Presidents (Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump) along with many 
presidential appointed and acting U.S. Attorneys (Tom Strickland, 
Richard ``Dick'' Spriggs, John Suthers, William ``Bill'' Leone, Troy 
Eid, David Gaouette, John Walsh, Bob Troyer and Jason Dunn).
  I want to extend my deepest appreciation for Jeff's long career in 
public service and countless contributions to our community. I wish him 
the best in retirement and future endeavors
