    IN RECOGNITION OF ROSALIND JACKSON AND HER SERVICE TO THE HOUSE 
                          JUDICIARY COMMITTEE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JERROLD NADLER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 30, 2021

  Mr. NADLER. Madam Speaker, I rise--along with Hank Johnson, Chair of 
the Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet--to 
thank Rosalind Jackson for her decades of service to the Committee on 
the Judiciary. The House of Representatives has been fortunate to 
benefit from Rosalind's service during two separate stints.
  When the public watches a congressional hearing or markup, they often 
do not know all of the work that goes into making those events come to 
fruition. For our Committee, we have been fortunate to have Rosalind 
working behind the scenes to ensure they go smoothly. From sending out 
notices and witness invites to compiling witness bios, working the 
timer, and getting committee reports and transcripts printed, Rosalind 
has played a key role from start to finish on more than a hundred 
hearings and markups during her time here. She has also performed an 
invaluable service in helping the Committee to save and archive its 
records each Congress.
  While Rosalind has supported numerous Subcommittees, as well as the 
full Committee, over the years, she has worked especially closely with 
the Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet. In 
this role, she played a critical role in supporting the Subcommittee 
staff as they worked on complex legislation, such as, among other 
things, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the PRO-IP Act, the 
Innovation Act and the America Invents Act--indeed every major 
copyright and patent law enacted over the last 15 years and earlier. 
Her active involvement has continued through the Committee's 
consideration several months ago of the SHOP SAFE Act as well.
  Rosalind's dedication to public service, institutional memory, and 
work ethic have been a tremendous gift to the Committee over the years. 
Her warmth and kindness have not only served her well in developing 
good relationships across the Capitol but have created a welcoming 
environment for every staff member, Member of Congress, witness, 
intern, and visitor who has had the benefit of interacting with her.
  Rosalind is a team player who is always willing to help out however 
is needed. We will miss her deeply on the Committee, but we are excited 
for her as she enjoys retirement after a career in public service. Our 
country is fortunate to have had Rosalind working in Congress these 
past decades.
  We thank Rosalind for her service to the Committee and wish her the 
best of luck with this new chapter.
