  Mr. STEIL. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing 
Mark Dobbins of Prince William County, VA on the occasion of his 
retirement on January 16, 2024, after more than 33 years of service to 
the United States House of Representatives.
  During Mark's tenure of 33 years, he has worked for the Office of the 
Clerk and the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer. He retired as 
a Purchasing Agent Manager for the Office of Acquisitions Management 
within the CAO.
  Mark began his House career in 1990 as an employee with the Clerk of 
the House as an Office Equipment Counselor, later being promoted to 
Senior Office Equipment Counselor in 1993. In 1996, Mark began a career 
with the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer as a Supervisor of 
Inventory Counselors. In 2002, Mark became a Supervisor with 
Acquisitions Management and was later promoted to Manager of the Small 
Purchasing Team.
  As a Manager for the Small Purchasing Team within the Office of 
Acquisitions Management, Mark was responsible for oversight and 
managing the process required to efficiently purchase quality 
equipment, furniture, office supplies and related items for the House 
community at-large. He and his team carried out their responsibilities 
in compliance with the policies and procedures adopted by the Committee 
on House Administration and the Chief Administrative Officer.
  In retirement, Mark has plans to stay active, spending more time with 
family and taking time to enjoy some travelling.
  On behalf of the entire House community, we extend congratulations to 
Mark in grateful recognition of and appreciation for his many years of 
dedicated service to the U.S. House of Representatives. We wish him 
many wonderful years in fulfilling his retirement dreams.
