                        FAREWELL TO JACK WALECKI

  (Mr. JOHNSON of Louisiana asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOHNSON of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer my 
sincere gratitude to one of the most valued and dedicated members of my 
team, Jack Walecki.
  After over 4 years of service to our country and the people of 
Louisiana's Fourth Congressional District, Jack is going to be leaving 
our D.C. office to pursue a law degree at Pepperdine University.
  For the past 2\1/2\ years, and through some of the most historically 
significant events in recent memory, I have relied upon Jack's steady 
counsel as my lead staffer for judiciary issues. His level head and 
steadfast commitment to his work have been instrumental in helping to 
right the ship in truly tumultuous times.
  More importantly, Jack's easy-going, quintessentially California 
attitude will leave a lasting mark on our team. We will sorely miss his 
obscure cultural references and random tidbits of knowledge that would 
make a trivia master's head spin.
  We are all saddened to see Jack leave, but we are also delighted to 
see him take this next step in his life.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Jack for all his work and dedication. God has 
great plans for your life. Our family and staff wish him all the best.
  Onward, my friend.
