                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 8, 2021

  Mr. YARMUTH. Madam Speaker, today I would like to recognize and honor 
the outstanding service of Christopher Williams, who retires this week 
after 30 years as a public servant at the Congressional Budget Office.
  Christopher Williams joined CBO in 1991. He has served for many years 
as a principal analyst in the Macroeconomic Analysis Division. In that 
capacity, he played a pivotal role in producing and describing CBO's 
economic projections. Christopher developed and maintained the 
econometric model used to produce those projections and, later in his 
tenure, he took primary responsibility for generating and explaining 
CBO's projections of consumer spending and the components of national 
income. Christopher contributed regularly to CBO's annual reports, 
including The Budget and Economic Outlook, and worked on numerous CBO 
studies, which covered topics ranging from national health expenditures 
to the effect of foreign aid in economic development and the effects of 
tax policy on labor markets.
  By all accounts, Christopher's colleagues at CBO appreciate his 
dedication, dependability, collaboration, and breadth of experience. 
They will miss his generosity with his time and knowledge and, 
especially, his kindness.
  I know my colleagues will join me in extending our thanks and 
appreciation to Christopher for his service to our country. We wish him 
well in his future endeavors and hope that the Nation will continue to 
benefit from his expertise and commitment.
