                       RECOGNIZING MR. JACK CLINE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. SHARICE DAVIDS

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 23, 2022

  Ms. DAVIDS of Kansas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jack 
Cline, former Associate Vice Chancellor of federal relations at the 
University of Kansas (KU), for his advocacy on behalf of the University 
and the University of Kansas Medical Center.
  For a decade, Mr. Cline served as a tireless, dependable, and admired 
advocate of the educational and research enterprise in Kansas. As he 
begins his new role as Vice President for federal relations at 
Northeastern University in Boston, I can only express gratitude for Mr. 
Cline.
  Mr. Cline was recognized for his hard work last year when he was 
named a ``Top Lobbyist'' by the National Institute for Lobbying & 
Ethics.
  The previous year, he received the Jennifer Poulakidas Achievement 
Award for his contributions to and achievements in university 
governmental relations; he was also recognized as a ``Top Lobbyist'' by 
The Hill that same year.
  Alone, these accolades don't tell you what's truly special about Mr. 
Cline, and why we'll miss him so much. Following a career in the armed 
services, Mr. Cline chose to continue living a life of service, 
spending years walking these hallways to ensure the entire Kansas 
congressional delegation knows the valuable work occurring at KU.
  Not once has Mr. Cline shied away from a question, a task, or a 
request; he's bent over backwards to ensure KU's priorities are heard 
throughout Congress.
  Mr. Cline may now be a Northeastern University Husky, but he will 
always remain a part of our KU family and will forever be a Jay hawk. 
Rock Chalk.
