  Ms. LOFGREN. Madam Speaker, I wish to recognize today a special group 
of dedicated and outstanding employees of the Officers (Clerk of the 
House, Sergeant at Arms, and Chief Administrative Officer) and of the 
Inspector General of the U.S. House of Representatives and congratulate 
those who have reached the milestone of 25 years of service to the U.S. 
House of Representatives.
  The House's most important asset is its remarkable and steadfast 
employees, whose work is essential to keeping the operations and 
services of the House running efficiently and effectively. The 
employees we acknowledge today are commended for their hard work, 
dedication, professionalism, and teamwork; support of House Members, 
their staffs, and their constituents, and for their contributions day-
in and day-out to the overall operations of the House. These employees, 
whose work is often performed behind the scenes, possess a wide range 
of responsibilities and skills that support the legislative process, 
ensure the security of this great institution, maintain our technology 
and service infrastructure, and contribute to more efficient and 
productive House support operations. These devoted employees have 
accomplished significant and essential work in a diverse range of 
activities, and the House of Representatives, its Members, staff, and 
the American public is better served because of them.
  We recognize and honor the following individuals for 25 years of 
loyal service to the House. Collectively, the employees listed have 
provided 375 years of service to the U.S. House of Representatives.
  Gordon Alexander, Office of the Chief Administrative Officer; Ricky 
Buckler, Office of the Chief Administrative Officer; Alicia Carcamo, 
Office of the Chief Administrative Officer; John Collins, Office of the 
Chief Administrative Officer; Andrew Graeub, Office of the Chief 
Administrative Officer; Michael Keane, Office of the Chief 
Administrative Officer; Adam Magary, Office of the Chief Administrative 
Officer; David McKittrick, Office of the Chief Administrative Officer; 
Donald Myhill, Office of the Clerk of the House; Frank Overby, Office

Chief Administrative Officer; Nancy Sumner, Office of the Chief 
Administrative Officer; Gary Thiessen, Office of the Chief 
Administrative Officer; Alan Vaughan, Office of the Chief 
Administrative Officer; Donna K. Wolfgang, Office of Inspector General.
  On behalf of the entire House community, I want to congratulate, 
acknowledge, and thank these employees for their professionalism and 
commitment to the U.S. House of Representatives as a whole, and in 
particular to their respective House Officer, the Inspector General, 
and collaboratively across these organizations once again. Their long 
hours, hard work, diverse skills, and team spirit are invaluable, and 
their years of unwavering service and dedication to the House sets an 
example for their colleagues and raises the bar for the employees who 
will follow in their footsteps. I applaud all our honorees, and I am 
proud to stand before you and our great Nation on their behalf to 
recognize the importance of their public service.
