                       Thursday, December 9, 2021

  Mr. BROWN of Maryland. Madam Speaker, today I honor a superb leader 
and Army liaison for her tireless commitment to the United States Army 
with over 14 years of service to the Nation serving in the Army Office 
of the Legislative Liaison, culminating as the Deputy Division Chief of 
the Army House Liaison Division. As Ms. Jodi Mitchell transitions to 
her next assignment as a Department of the Army Civilian, I believe it 
is fitting to recognize her dedication to fostering the relationship 
between the United States Army and this Chamber.
  Ms. Mitchell's commitment to service and leader development enabled 
her to excel in numerous leadership positions throughout her time 
serving as a Department of the Army Civilian. Over the course of 14 
years, while serving in many key legislative liaison assignments, she 
has continued the tradition of strengthening the relationships between 
Members of Congress and their staffs with the United States Army.
  Ms. Mitchell's relentless commitment proved invaluable in providing 
support to the House of Representatives and our constituents. She has 
spent countless hours ensuring our Members were educated on Army combat 
systems, modernization programs and policy initiatives. She also 
managed and led multiple Congressional Delegations to various locations 
around the globe. Ms. Mitchell has become a trusted adviser and friend 
to many of us, distinguishing herself by continuously going above and 
beyond the call of duty to serve the needs of Congress.
  This Chamber will feel Ms. Mitchell's absence. I join many past and 
present Members of Congress in my gratitude and appreciation to Ms. 
Mitchell for her outstanding leadership and unwavering support. This 
nation is grateful for her commitment and the personal sacrifices she 
has made during her time in the Army Legislative Liaison Office.
  On behalf of the United States House of Representatives and the 
United States of America, I commend Ms. Jodi Mitchell for her tireless 
dedication in support of our Army, our Soldiers and this Nation. I 
congratulate her on an extremely successful career, dedicated to 
service, and wish her the best in all her future endeavors.
