RECOGNIZING JAMIE JACKSON FOR HER SERVICE TO THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS 
          AND APPOINTMENT TO THE WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL'S OFFICE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ADAM SMITH

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 11, 2021

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
thank Ms. Jamie Jackson for her service to the United States Congress 
and congratulate her on her appointment to serve as a Senior Deputy 
Associate Counsel at the White House.
  A two-time graduate of the University of Virginia and with a law 
degree from the University of Maryland School of Law, Jamie's career 
has spanned a decade of public service. After working in various 
positions in the Legislative and Executive Branches of government, 
Jamie joined the House Armed Services Committee's professional staff in 
2018, where she served as the minority staff lead for the Subcommittee 
on Oversight and Investigation. She also advised Members of the full 
committee and the Subcommittee on Military Personnel on policy matters 
related to information technology, cybersecurity, and military justice.
  More recently, Jamie served as the committee's Deputy General Counsel 
from 2019 to 2021, where she played a critical role in the development 
and passage of two National Defense Authorization Acts (NDAA). Through 
her work with Members, outside committees, the Office of Legislative 
Counsel, and the Office of the Parliamentarian, Jamie played a central 
role in advising Members and staff of the committee on legal and 
procedural matters related to the bill. I can say with certainty that 
the committee would not have been able to get the 59th and 60th 
consecutive NDAAs done without the tireless work and support of Jamie 
Jackson.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the House Armed Services Committee, I 
extend our deepest appreciation to Jamie for her dedicated service to 
the committee, the Congress, and the military and civilian personnel of 
the Armed Forces. We wish her well as she continues her public service 
at the White House.
