                        Tuesday, August 31, 2021

  Ms. LOFGREN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank Kurt Hyde for his 
many years of dedicated service to the Library on the occasion of his 
retirement. Mr. Hyde was invaluable in setting the Library on a path of 
modernization and performance-driven strategy.
  Mr. Hyde has had a long and illustrious career in the public, 
nonprofit and private sectors, in positions devoted to the public 
interest. Prior to serving as the Library's Inspector General, he was 
the deputy inspector general for audit and evaluations at the Special 
Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, a 
sophisticated, white collar law enforcement agency established to 
prevent waste, fraud, and abuse in the $700 billion program.
  Similarly, he served as the deputy assistant inspector general for 
the Resolution Trust Corporation during the savings and loan financial 
crisis in the 1990s. Other government service included work at the 
Government Accountability Office and as a senior executive at the 
Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General. In the 
private sector, Mr. Hyde was a partner in the government services 
practice at big 5 accounting and consulting firm. He also consulted to 
a non-profit whose mission was to develop transformational leaders for 
primary and secondary schools.
  Although we will miss Mr. Hyde's hard work and dedication to the 
Library, we wish him well as he embarks upon his well-deserved 
retirement. Please join me in thanking Mr. Hyde for his years of 
outstanding service.
