 RETIREMENT OF DOREEN DOTZLER, DEPUTY CHIEF OF THE OFFICE OF OFFICIAL 
                               REPORTERS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. STENY H. HOYER

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 7, 2021

  Mr. HOYER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Doreen Dotzler, the 
Deputy Chief of the Office of Official Reporters, as she retires after 
twenty-three years of service to the House in the Office of the Clerk.
  A Minnesota native, Doreen first came to Congress in 1998, working as 
a House stenographer covering committee assignments for the Clerk's 
Office. From 2001 to 2014, she served as a stenographer on the House 
Floor, and then transitioned to a Senior Official Reporter Position 
before taking on her current role in 2019. Among a great many other 
responsibilities, over the last seven years, Doreen has read every 
single word spoken on the House Floor, and over her career she has 
borne witness to countless historic moments in this chamber. It is in 
no small part because of her dedication, her knowledge of Congressional 
procedure, and her attention to detail that the daily Congressional 
Record over her tenure has been consistently accurate and reliable.
  After previously delaying her retirement to extend her public 
service, Doreen leaves her post this year after a distinguished tenure 
in support of the House and its work. This institution and the American 
people it serves have greatly benefitted from her work, and I hope all 
of my colleagues will join me in extending my heartfelt thanks to 
Doreen and wishing her and her husband Terry and their family the very 
best as she retires.
