  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker and my dear 
friend, Nydia Velazquez, from the great State of New York, I rise today 
to recognize the outgoing staff director of the House Committee on 
Oversight and Reform, Russell Anello.
  Russ became my trusted adviser and leader of our committee staff in 
May 2021. Before his promotion to staff director, Russ served under 
three of our distinguished colleagues: Chairman Henry Waxman, Chairman  
Jim Clyburn, and Chairman Elijah Cummings.
  Russ is a tireless leader who defended democracy when democracy 
needed defending the most. Under his leadership, the committee passed 
landmark legislation, held high-profile hearings, and skillfully 
navigated complex investigations to hold government and private actors 
to account.
  Russ' sharp legal skills and political instincts have helped to make 
our government more effective and efficient and have improved the lives 
of Americans.
  On behalf of the members of the House Committee on Oversight and 
Reform, and on behalf of the American people, I thank Russ for his 
selfless, dedicated service to our Nation.
