                        RECOGNIZING SEAN O'BRIEN

  (Mr. NEWHOUSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a member of my team 
for his hard work and dedication over the last 8 years.
  Sean O'Brien started working for Washington's Fourth Congressional 
District at just about the same time that I did. He even stepped up to 
run my first reelection campaign. Luckily for both of us, he was 
successful, and he served as my legislative assistant, my legislative 
director, and eventually my deputy chief of staff.
  I was proud to step into the role of Congressional Western Caucus 
chairman with Sean at the helm. With his vision, knowledge, and 
steadfast support as the executive director, we worked together to 
build an organization that I am proud to lead.
  Sean, as you join the new House alumni association, never forget what 
you learned in the people's House. The long hours and late nights are 
worth it. Our work is important, but the real work happens outside the 
swamp. And never underestimate a supportive team because you will 
always be an invaluable member of mine.
