                 RECOGNIZING ADAM BERG ON HIS DEPARTURE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROSA L. DeLAURO

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 12, 2022

  Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Speaker, I rise as Chair of the House 
Appropriations Committee, and on behalf of the Members of the Committee 
and its staff, to pay tribute to Adam Berg as he concludes 15 years of 
service to the House of Representatives.
  Adam began his career with the House Committee on Rules, serving 
under the late Chairwoman Louise Slaughter and current Chairman Jim 
McGovern. Adam faithfully served the Rules Committee for 10 years, 
where he began his tenure as an Intern and eventually served as Deputy 
Staff Director and Counsel. Throughout his tenure there, he found time 
to attend Georgetown University Law Center and the McCourt School of 
Public Policy in the evenings, earning his Juris Doctor and Master of 
Public Policy in 2010.
  Adam eventually saw the light and, in 2017, joined the Appropriations 
Committee under then Ranking Member Lowey. Adam has faithfully served 
as Chief Counsel to the Democratic staff in the minority and for the 
current majority of the Appropriations Committee for the last 5 years.
  During this time, Adam has provided vital counsel to me and my 
colleagues, helping guide Floor procedure and shepherd numerous 
Appropriations bills through the legislative process.
  I speak for myself, and I am sure his colleagues and other Members, 
when I say we will miss Adam upon his transition.
  I am excited for what the future holds for Adam and wish him, his 
wife Erika, and his daughters Ariel and Leila all the best.
  I extend my congratulations to Adam on an outstanding congressional 
career. His country thanks him for his hard work.
