                    PAYING TRIBUTE TO JUSTIN MATURO

  (Mr. TAKANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TAKANO. Madam Speaker, I pay tribute today to an outstanding 
public servant, Justin Maturo, who is ending his nearly 6-year tenure 
as my legislative director.
  He joined my team in 2018, and I quickly came to trust Justin's 
analytic mind to sort through the myriad of bills going to the floor 
each day as well as his political judgment and prudence. He has helped 
me secure important legislative wins as that was part of his job, but 
his service was always connected to the success of our Nation, not just 
to the success of his boss.
  While my heart is heavy upon the loss of my highly valued lieutenant, 
our country is the richer as Justin assumes a role as special assistant 
to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Legislative Affairs.
  I wish him well in his new position and thank him for the service he 
has rendered to me, my constituents, and our Nation. In turn, all I ask 
him to do is continue to do great things for us all.
