          THANKING THE HOUSE OFFICE OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BENNIE G. THOMPSON

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 16, 2021

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I join with my fellow 
committee chairs in thanking the House Office of the Legislative 
Counsel for their incredible work during the First Session of the 117th 
Congress. They have produced landmark legislation amid some of the most 
challenging working conditions Congress has ever known.
  In just the First Session of the 117th Congress, attorneys within the 
House Office of the Legislative Counsel have provided steadfast 
guidance on not just the ``American Rescue Plan Act,'' the ``For the 
People Act,'' the ``Build Back Better Act,'' or the ``National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022,'' but also more than 7,000 
measures introduced in the House.
  My fellow committee chairs and I have joined in a letter thanking the 
office, led by Wade Ballou, which I include in the Record along with a 
roster of the entire HOLC staff.

                                Congress of the United States,

                                Washington, DC, December 16, 2021.
     E. Wade Ballou, Jr.,
     House Legislative Counsel, Office of the Legislative Counsel, 
         House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Ballou: The committee chairs of the House of 
     Representatives would like to express our profound thanks to 
     you and the entire staff of the House Office of the 
     Legislative Counsel (HOLC) for your extraordinary work during 
     the First Session of the 117th Congress.
       Since its authorization more than a century ago, HOLC has 
     offered professional, nonpartisan, and confidential advice on 
     drafting legislation to all Members and committees of the 
     House. Few Congresses in that time have been as legislatively 
     active and demanding as the 117th. Amid a pandemic, your 
     talented and patriotic non-partisan staff has helped our 
     committees and all Member offices draft more than 7,000 
     pieces of legislation. The body of work produced by HOLC 
     includes some of the most broadly significant and 
     transformational measures our Nation has ever seen, which 
     include the ``American Rescue Plan Act,'' the ``For the 
     People Act,'' the ``Build Back Better Act,'' and the 
     ``National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022,'' 
     as well as additional measures that were significant 
     priorities for each of our committees.
       What follows are committee-specific statements of 
     appreciation of your counsels' expert work, which together 
     with the names of the HOLC attorneys and staff whose work we 
     acknowledge here, will be included in the Congressional 
     Record:


                        Committee on Agriculture

       The Committee on Agriculture would like to thank the non-
     partisan staff at the House Office of the Legislative Counsel 
     for their extraordinary work supporting our committee's 
     legislative priorities. We are grateful for the invaluable 
     legal and legislative drafting expertise of HOLC's 
     agriculture and nutrition attorneys: Michelle Vanek, Kathryn 
     Swiss, James Grossman, Kakuti Lin, and Jean Harmann. Their 
     expertise, professionalism, and tireless commitment to public 
     service has been key to our committee's work, including the 
     agriculture components of the American Rescue Plan Act and 
     the Build Back Better Act, as well as the 10 bipartisan 
     measures that this committee favorably reported or 
     successfully advanced to the House floor this session of 
     Congress. These efforts could not have been accomplished 
     without HOLC and its dedicated nonpartisan staff.
                                                      David Scott,
                               Chairman, Committee on Agriculture.


                      Committee on Appropriations

       On behalf of the Committee on Appropriations, I would like 
     to recognize and express our deep appreciation for the House 
     Office of

[[Page E1380]]

     the Legislative Counsel. We thank the Office's attorneys and 
     staff for their dedication to public service, for their 
     professionalism and expertise, and for their indispensable 
     contributions and service to the House of Representatives. We 
     are especially grateful for the assistance of Wade Ballou, 
     Noah Wofsy, Tom Cassidy, Kalyani Parthasarathy, and Donalene 
     Roberts and the Office of the Legislative Counsel team for 
     providing the support necessary for the Committee to craft 
     appropriations bills.
                                                  Rosa L. DeLauro,
                               Chair, Committee on Appropriations.


                      Committee on Armed Services

       The Committee on Armed Services is very grateful for the 
     tremendous contributions of the House Office of the 
     Legislative Counsel to the committee's legislative efforts, 
     especially the HOLC's prodigious contributions to the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022. The 
     committee commends Hadley Ross, Tony Sciascia, Thomas 
     Anderson, Tom Cassidy, Ken Cox, Mathew Eckstein, Brendan 
     Gallagher, Brenna Marie Gautam, Greg Kostka, Keith Nemeth, 
     Kalyani Parthasarathy, Veena Srinivasa, and Mark Synnes of 
     the HOLC's amazing defense group and Karen Anderson, Marshall 
     Barksdale, Hallet Brazelton, Jordyn Coad, Lisa Daly, Michael 
     Sribinder, Billy Wilson, Noah Wofsy, and everyone on the 
     indispensable HOLC team for sharing their critical expertise 
     and their extraordinary devotion to public service with the 
     committee.
                                                       Adam Smith,
                               Chair, Committee on Armed Services.


                        Committee on the Budget

       The Committee on the Budget is extremely grateful for the 
     entire hardworking, non-partisan staff of the HOLC that 
     worked on the American Rescue Plan Act as well as the Build 
     Back Better Act. Budget Reconciliation is, necessarily, a 
     multicommittee and a multi-counsel effort, and our committee 
     appreciates the complexity of this task and all of your 
     staffs contributions. This effort was ably led by the 
     talented, hardworking, and relentlessly cheerful team of Tom 
     Cassidy and Parker Johnson. Their work over weekends, early 
     mornings, and late at night was invaluable.
                                                     John Yarmuth,
                                   Chair, Committee on the Budget.


                 Select Committee on the Climate Crisis

       The House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis greatly 
     appreciates the invaluable guidance and advice provided by 
     the House Office of the Legislative Counsel (HOLC). One 
     constant in climate forward legislation across jurisdictions, 
     is the thorough, professional and essential work of the HOLC. 
     While we are not a traditional legislative committee, our 
     role in helping the House and the standing committees tackle 
     the climate crisis head-on requires innovative, cross-cutting 
     policy that is not always easily translated into legislative 
     text. HOLC's drafting the bills passed by the House this 
     Congress has already led, and will continue to lead, to 
     immeasurable improvements to the lives of so many across this 
     country, especially as it relates to the climate crisis. We 
     extend our gratitude to the entire HOLC staff and wish you a 
     restful holiday season.
                                                     Kathy Castor,
                    Chair, Select Committee on the Climate Crisis.


                    Committee on Education and Labor

       The House Office of the Legislative Counsel (HOLC) has been 
     invaluable to the work of the Education and Labor Committee 
     this year. Thanks to the dedication and patience of HOLC's 
     expert staff, the Committee was able to include historic 
     relief for students, workers, and families through both the 
     American Rescue Plan and the Build Back Better Act. 
     Additionally, HOLC provided round-the-clock support 
     throughout the year to ensure the Committee advanced key 
     legislative priorities for the American people, including 
     legislation to strengthen workers' collective bargaining 
     rights, prevent child abuse and neglect, and address 
     workplace discrimination. The Committee would like to give 
     special thanks to Wade Ballou, Anna Shpak, Justin Gross, 
     Brenna Culliton, Susan Fleishman, Brendan Gallagher, Karl 
     Hagnauer, Jean Harmann, Paul Kubicki, Molly Lothamer, 
     Donalene Roberts, Adam Schilt, Jessica Shapiro, Kathryn 
     Swiss, and Adrienne Thomas.

                                    Robert C. ``Bobby'' Scott,

                                  Chairman, Committee on Education
                                                        and Labor.


                    Committee on Energy and Commerce

       The nonpartisan Office of the Legislative Counsel has 
     played a critical role in the work of the Committee on Energy 
     and Commerce this year, including efforts to address the 
     COVID-19 pandemic, make prescription drugs more affordable, 
     invest in efforts to modernize the nation's infrastructure, 
     and combat the climate crisis. Such work required your staff 
     to dedicate many late nights, early mornings, and weekends. 
     While that work took place out of the public view's, your 
     superb drafting and technical expertise was vital to the 
     passage of legislation that responds to the needs of the 
     American people. For that, the Committee is extremely 
     grateful. In particular, I would like to thank those who have 
     contributed directly to the Committee's work: Warren Burke, 
     Casey Ebner, Karl Hagnauer, Alison Hartwich, Kakuti Lin, 
     Chris Osborne, Adam Schilt, Brandon Senger, Jessica Shapiro, 
     Adrienne Thomas, Michelle Vanek, and Sally Walker.

                                           Frank Pallone, Jr.,

                                            Chairman, Committee on
                                              Energy and Commerce.


                    Committee on Financial Services

       As Chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee, I 
     am grateful for the tireless work and counsel that your staff 
     provided our Committee during the First Session of the 117th 
     Congress. Specifically, I'd like to thank Paul Callen, 
     Marshall Barksdale, Veena Srinivasa, Sarah Rens Zavislan, 
     Kathryn Swiss, Jim Grossman, and Lauren Anderson, all of whom 
     worked with my Committee staff throughout the session. They 
     helped prepare many pieces of legislation for our hearings 
     and markups and worked into the dead of night to draft key 
     pieces of legislation in our jurisdiction. Notably, they were 
     essential in ensuring the housing provisions in the Build 
     Back Better Act, our amendments to the National Defense 
     Authorization Act for FY 2022, and the Financial Services 
     pieces of the American Rescue Plan were ready for inclusion 
     and carefully written. Additionally, they assisted my staff 
     in preparing several critical pieces of housing legislation, 
     including ``The Housing is infrastructure Act,'' ``The Ending 
     Homelessness Act,'' ``The Down-payment Toward Equity Act,'' 
     and the ``Expediting Assistance to Renters and Landlords 
     Act.''
       They were also instrumental in turning the Committee's 
     policy into a reality, using their unparalleled knowledge of 
     consumer protection law on legislation such as the 
     ``Comprehensive Debt Collection Improvement Act,'' 
     legislation to regulate America's largest banks and improve 
     credit reporting.
       Once again, I want to thank everyone for their work on 
     these key pieces of legislation over the past year, and I 
     look forward to their continued work with us in the upcoming 
     year.

                                                Maxine Waters,

                                          Chairwoman, Committee on
                                               Financial Services.


                      Committee on Foreign Affairs

       The House Foreign Affairs Committee would like to express 
     our deepest gratitude to the House Office of the Legislative 
     Counsel, especially to Mark Synnes, Mathew Eckstein and 
     Kalyani Parthasarathy and their clerks. Their talent, 
     commitment and mastery of foreign affairs statutes have 
     resulted in over 75 measures passed by the Committee this 
     year. I want to particularly thank them for the work on the 
     State Department Authorization Act and the EAGLE Act. The 
     work by this team has given the United States Congress a 
     voice in serious matters of security, peace, development, 
     human rights and democracy abroad. Countless individuals and 
     countries have benefited from their work supporting the House 
     Foreign Affairs Committee, which has enabled America to lead 
     and build lasting relationships around the globe. We salute 
     all of the Office of the Legislative Counsel for a job well 
     done and look forward to our continued work together.
                                                 Gregory W. Meeks,
                              Chair, Committee on Foreign Affairs.


                     Committee on Homeland Security

       The Committee on Homeland Security has benefitted greatly 
     from the excellent work of several counsels, but we would 
     specifically acknowledge the contributions of three senior 
     attorneys that provided invaluable counsel, Mat Eckstein, 
     Hadley Ross, and Tom Cassidy. With the support of the 
     talented HOLC team, the Committee has successfully advanced 
     30 measures to the House floor under suspension of the rules 
     and the ``National Commission to Investigate the January 6 
     Attack on the United States Complex Act'' (H.R. 3233) under a 
     rule. In addition to the homeland security components of the 
     ``Build Back Better Act'' and the ``National Defense 
     Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022,'' the HOLC team 
     provided the Committee with expert advice on other important 
     priorities, such as the ``Rights for the TSA Workforce Act of 
     2021'' (H.R. 903), the ``DHS Reform Act of 2021'' (H.R. 
     4357), the ``State and Local Cybersecurity Improvement Act'' 
     (H.R. 3138), and the ``Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical 
     Infrastructure Act of 2021'' (H.R. 5440), to name just a few.

                                               Bennie G. Thompson,
                         Chairman, Committee on Homeland Security.


                   Committee on House Administration

       As Chairperson of the Committee on House Administration, I 
     extend the sincere gratitude of our Committee's Members and 
     staff for the exceptional work of the House Office of the 
     Legislative Counsel. Among other issues, our committee's 
     jurisdictional responsibilities include oversight of federal 
     elections. The talented HOLC team has provided invaluable 
     technical assistance in our drafting of and contributions to 
     major legislation to strengthen our democracy and provide 
     access to the franchise for all Americans, including the 
     ``For the People Act,'' the ``John R. Lewis Voting Rights 
     Advancement Act,'' and other important measures. In addition, 
     HOLC staff provide significant assistance when we consider 
     measures related to the internal procedures and priorities of 
     the daily operations of the institution, including 
     legislative branch agencies and offices that provide vital 
     services to Members, staff, and the public. Among the many 
     experts on the HOLC staff who provide invaluable assistance 
     to Members and committees every day, from the perspective of 
     the Committee on House Administration, we take this 
     opportunity to thank and recognize in particular Wade Ballou, 
     Noah Wofsy, and Parker Johnson. I have seen firsthand how 
     their technical expertise improves the work of all Members, 
     in turn, improving the work

[[Page E1381]]

     we perform for our constituents. We are grateful for their 
     outstanding public service.

                                                  Zoe Lofgren,

                                         Chairperson, Committee on
                                             House Administration.


               Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence

       Drafting legislation can be a complex, demanding, and 
     technical enterprise; drafting intelligence legislation can 
     be especially so. Yet time and again, attorneys from the 
     House Office of the Legislative Counsel (``HOLC'') have 
     provided expert assistance to the House Permanent Select 
     Committee on Intelligence (``HPSCI'')--at all hours and on 
     the tightest of deadlines. Their efforts have run the gamut 
     of intelligence and related subject matter, from foreign 
     interference in U.S. elections, to human rights, to 
     cybersecurity, to counterintelligence, and to the protection 
     of Intelligence Community whistleblowers. Whatever the 
     subject or the project, HOLC lawyers consistently have been 
     extraordinary.
       HPSCI wishes, in particular, to recognize the tremendous 
     contributions by Tony Sciascia and Brenna Marie Gautam--who 
     have been vital to the drafting of the Intelligence 
     Authorization Act, including under the extreme conditions 
     imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The enormity of their 
     contribution cannot be overstated. HPSCI is deeply grateful.

                                               Adam B. Schiff,

                                        Chairman, Permanent Select
                                        Committee on Intelligence.


                         Committee on Judiciary

       The Committee on the Judiciary is very grateful for the 
     expertise, professionalism, and patience of our House Office 
     of the Legislative Counsel (HOLC) colleagues. We deeply 
     appreciate the work of Hallet Brazelton, Megan Chasnoff, 
     Ebony Holder, and Allison Gilley, the HOLC team that has 
     worked so well with us this year to draft and report a steady 
     stream of legislation on such issues as criminal justice, 
     civil rights, and bankruptcy reform. Because antitrust reform 
     has been a focus this year, we are also grateful for Jean 
     Harmann's expert assistance. Finally, we express our sincere 
     thanks to Susan Fleishman for working with us on immigration 
     legislation, especially the immigration language included in 
     the Build Back Better Act.
                                                   Jerrold Nadler,
                                 Chairman, Committee on Judiciary.


                     Committee on Natural Resources

       The Committee on Natural Resources owes much of its success 
     to the dedicated staff at the HOLC. Under the leadership and 
     expert guidance of Lisa Daly and her team members, Brandon 
     Senger, Michael Sribinder, Kathryn Swiss, and Billy Wilson, 
     the Committee on Natural Resources has successfully ordered 
     to be reported 63 bills and passed 30 bills under suspension 
     of the rules.
       During the first session of the 117th Congress, Daly and 
     her team provided invaluable subject matter expertise and 
     drafting assistance for House passage of the Committee's 
     historic, nearly $20 billion-dollar, reconciliation measure 
     included in the ``Build Back Better Act'', the ``Protecting 
     America's Wilderness and Public Lands Act'' (H.R. 803), and 
     several measures for the betterment for the Indigenous 
     Peoples of the United States. HOLC's efforts, often requested 
     through late nights and weekends, were integral to the 
     passage of legislative measures that will benefit the 
     American people and our environment for years to come.
                                                 Raul M. Grijalva,
                         Chairman, Committee on Natural Resources.


                   Committee on Oversight and Reform

       The staff of the House Office of the Legislative Counsel 
     has provided the Committee on Oversight and Reform excellent 
     service throughout the strenuous first session of the 117th 
     Congress. From the American Rescue Plan, to Postal Service 
     Reform, the Build Back Better Act, and D.C. Statehood, the 
     expertise, guidance, and drafting services of HOLC, 
     especially Tom Cassidy, Sally Walker, Casey Ebner, and Noah 
     Wofsy, have been invaluable. The hard work and dedication of 
     all the attorneys at HOLC is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

                                           Carolyn B. Maloney,

                                          Chairwoman, Committee on
                                             Oversight and Reform.


                           Committee on Rules

       Each week, the House Rules Committee relies on the 
     expertise of the talented staff at the House Office of the 
     Legislative Counsel to move legislation to the House floor. 
     Quite simply, we couldn't do it without you. On behalf of the 
     Members and staff of the Rules Committee, I write to thank 
     each and every attorney and staff person at HOLC for their 
     dedicated service to the House of Representatives. We call 
     upon you late at night, early in the morning, on weekends, 
     and every time in between to produce legislative text that 
     will help the lives of people across the country. You've 
     drafted thousands of amendments and revisions that enable the 
     voices of Members across the Congress--Democratic and 
     Republican alike--to be heard. Sometimes, we need this text 
     at a moment's notice, and you never fail to deliver. In 
     particular, I'd like to thank Wade Ballou for his incredible 
     leadership of HOLC, as well as Noah Wofsy and Bob Weinhagen 
     who have worked over multiple holidays to help our committee 
     finalize rules packages at the start of the past two 
     Congresses.
                                                James P. McGovern,
                               Chairman, House Committee on Rules.


              Committee on Science, Space, and Technology

       The Committee on Science, Space, and Technology is grateful 
     for the incredibly hard work of the House Office of the 
     Legislative Counsel during the 117th Congress. This has been 
     a very active year for the Committee, with comprehensive 
     authorizations of most of the major research agencies in 
     addition to the complex and difficult work associated with 
     the Build Back Better Act. Through all this legislative 
     activity, the counsels and staff of the Office of the 
     Legislative Counsel have been integral players in advancing 
     the Committee's work. Quite literally, the Committee's 
     legislative work would not have been possible without HOLC's 
     dedicated staff. Frequently this session, this work included 
     long nights and weekends working with Committee staff on 
     legislation. In spite of these difficult hours and 
     circumstances, the staff and counsels of the HOLC have always 
     engaged with the Committee with the utmost professionalism. 
     Paul Kubicki, Justin Gross, and Donalene Roberts have all 
     assisted the Committee during the 117th Congress, and their 
     hard work is very much appreciated.

                                        Eddie Bernice Johnson,

                                 Chairwoman, Committee on Science,
                                            Space, and Technology.


                      Committee on Small Business

       The non-partisan staff at the House Office of the 
     Legislative Counsel provide invaluable services fundamental 
     to the work of the House Small Business Committee. Veena 
     Srinivasa and Thomas Anderson are dedicated public servants 
     with a work ethic rarely matched on Capitol Hill. Throughout 
     the COVID crisis, our committee has sped to provide relief to 
     struggling small businesses. As my staff and I worked late 
     nights and early mornings to meet the urgency of the moment, 
     Veena and Tom have always been there to lend their sharp 
     legal minds to our legislative efforts. Our office knows them 
     as consummate experts in small business law, among many 
     others such as government procurement and financial services. 
     Their work with our committee's legislation, in addition to 
     other major bills like the National Defense Authorization Act 
     highlights their dedication to this institution and our 
     country. Lastly, I'd like to thank Wade Ballou for his 
     leadership of this critical office. HOLC is a vital component 
     in the legislative process. Without their services, Congress 
     would be much less efficient in fulfilling our duties to the 
     American people.
                                               Nydia M. Velazquez,
                          Chairwoman, Committee on Small Business.


             Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure

       The non-partisan staff of the House Office of the 
     Legislative Counsel have provided the Committee on 
     Transportation and Infrastructure with expert legislative 
     drafting and guidance over the years. Their hard work has 
     been essential to the Committee's contributions this Congress 
     to major pieces of legislation including the American Rescue 
     Plan Act and the Build Back Better Act, as well as the INVEST 
     in America Act, a five year surface transportation 
     reauthorization that passed the House in July. We'd like to 
     extend particular thanks to Karen Anderson, Robert Casturo, 
     Jordyn Coad, and Kakuti Lin, who worked extensively with the 
     Committee during the 117th Congress. We appreciate the 
     dedication, attention to detail, and professionalism of the 
     entire HOLC staff.

                                             Peter A. DeFazio,

                                Chair, Committee on Transportation
                                               and Infrastructure.


                     Committee on Veterans' Affairs

       The Committee on Veterans' Affairs is grateful to the 
     dedicated staff of HOLC for their invaluable work during the 
     first session of the 117th Congress. The Committee has a 
     significant legislative agenda each year and could not 
     accomplish its work on behalf of veterans without the 
     outstanding work of Hadley Ross, Tony Sciascia, Ken Cox, and 
     Brenna Marie Gautam. The Committee is particularly fortunate 
     to be able to collaborate with counsels who are well-versed 
     on veterans matters and Title 38. The Committee is grateful 
     for the work of our HOLC counsels--through many redrafts and 
     late nights--on the ``American Rescue Plan Act'' and the 
     ``Build Back Better Act of 2021''. We are deeply appreciative 
     of Hadley and Tony's willingness to attend bicameral meetings 
     to bring their expertise to thorny legislative drafting 
     issues.
       The HOLC team assisted the Committee in developing 
     legislation in support of military toxic exposure 
     presumptions, burial benefits, and other disability benefit 
     program enhancements this year, like the ``Mark O'Brien VA 
     Clothing Allowance Improvement Act''. The Committee would 
     like to specifically thank Tony Sciascia and Brenna Marie 
     Gautam for their efforts in developing the Committee's 
     comprehensive military toxic exposure package. The ``Honoring 
     our PACT Act'' would not be possible without the support and 
     hard work of these individuals. The HOLC team was excellent 
     in drafting the ``Responsible Education Mitigating Options 
     and Technical Extensions (REMOTE) Act''. Their due diligence 
     means 50,000 veterans will have housing during their next 
     school term. It also means many School Certifying Officials 
     will be able to do their job better, and finally it will save 
     the jobs of hundreds of educational employees from schools 
     around the nation. The Committee is also grateful to the HOLC 
     team for its work on technology-related legislation, to 
     include the ``VA Electronic Health Record

[[Page E1382]]

     Transparency Act of 2021'' and the ``Demographic Data 
     Collection Improvement Act.'' Finally, the HOLC team has been 
     incredibly responsive and collegial in drafting multiple 
     pieces of legislation on mental health and research, to 
     include the ``STRONG Veterans Act'' and the ``VA VIPER Act of 
     2021''.

                                                  Mark Takano,

                                      Chairman, House Committee on
                                                Veterans' Affairs.


                      Committee on Ways and Means

       Over the last year, the Office of the Legislative Counsel 
     has worked alongside the staff of the House Committee on Ways 
     and Means as we undertook the herculean task of moving both 
     the American Rescue Plan and Build Back Better Act through 
     the committee and on to the House floor. This process has 
     been anything but straightforward and has required late 
     nights, last minute drafting sessions, and even work through 
     holidays and weekends. Throughout, this learned band of 
     legislative counsels with deep expertise across the varied 
     jurisdiction of the Committee has provided expert advice and 
     drafting assistance. Their unfaltering commitment to their 
     craft and continued professionalism under extraordinary 
     pressure distinguish them as true public servants. The 
     Committee on Ways and Means thanks you and the following 
     members of your staff for tireless work on behalf of the 
     American people: James Grossman, Jessica Shapiro, Scott 
     Probst, Henry Christrup, Mark Synnes, Justin Gross, Paul 
     Kubicki, Megan Hawkins, Michael Sribinder, Adam Schilt, 
     Adrienne Thomas, Karl Hagnauer, Kalyani Parathasarathy.
                                                  Richard E. Neal,
                            Chairman, Committee on Ways and Means.
