                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 4, 2021

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor my 
District Manager Patrick G. Himes, Sr., for his service to 
Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District. An Altoona native, Pat has 
worked alongside me since the beginning of my service in Congress.
  During his tenure, Pat has been an integral member of my team as he 
worked with Pennsylvanians on the ground and led our district 
operations. Under his leadership, our team has delivered substantial 
results for the people of Pennsylvania--from leading outreach to 
constituents and supporting our local communities to cutting through 
red tape with federal agencies. During the uncertain days of 2020, Pat 
ensured that our district team continued to safely provide 
uninterrupted services.
  Every day, Pat's work is marked by his commitment and dedication to 
the people of Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District.
  Pat has spent a lifetime in service to our community. Before joining 
my office, Pat served as a law enforcement officer in Blair County for 
27 years, including as Blair County Parole Officer, Altoona Police 
Officer, and Altoona School District Police Officer. He attended Bishop 
Guilfoyle High School and holds a bachelor's degree in criminal justice 
from the University of Dayton.
  It is my privilege to recognize Patrick G. Himes, Sr., for his 
outstanding service to our region, and to thank him for his tireless 
work. I wish Pat and his family all the best as they embark on a new 
chapter.
