                      RECOGNIZING THERESE McMILLAN

  (Mr. DeSAULNIER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DeSAULNIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service of 
a friend and a dedicated public servant, Therese McMillan, who is 
retiring as executive director of the San Francisco Bay Area's 
Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
  Therese began her work with MTC in 1984 and then moved to the Federal 
Transit Administration, most notably as the acting administrator from 
2014 to 2016. In 2019, Therese returned to the MTC as its new executive 
director.
  Under her leadership, MTC established an Equity Platform to advance 
policies and make investments that will ensure all residents of the San 
Francisco Bay Area are considered when discussing the bay area's 
transit needs. She also helped to establish minimum housing density 
targets near transit stations to foster ridership.
  I have had the pleasure of working with Therese over the years. She 
has always been smart, kind, and dedicated to doing what is best. 
Please join me in congratulating Therese on a magnificent career of 
public service and wishing her the best on her retirement and her 
nearly three decades of service to our community.
