                         HONORING BART REISING

  (Mr. SCALISE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SCALISE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and thank one of 
the longest serving members of Team Scalise, a son of Covington, 
Georgia, and a proud Ole Miss alum, Bart Reising.
  Bart came to the Hill in 2011 after working on political campaigns 
and served my good friends, Austin Scott and Bill Flores, as their 
scheduler before joining my team in 2014 as operations director during 
the last few months of my chairmanship of the Republican Study 
Committee.
  Bart continued his role as operations director when I was elected 
majority whip. He kept our office operations moving smoothly. Bart made 
sure that the workers in this beautiful Capitol, the men and women who 
literally make sure we have a functioning building, and the Capitol 
Police who protect us always knew that Team Scalise appreciated their 
efforts.
  Later, as my member services director, he worked with so many of my 
colleagues from both sides of the aisle to make sure their needs were 
heard and taken care of.
  When I became the majority leader and all my staff's roles and 
responsibilities expanded, Bart took on the role of deputy chief of 
staff, a position that my chief has often reminded me has been 
instrumental to the success of our team and our House majority in the 
last Congress.
  Bart has been a mentor to so many young Hill staffers, always taking 
time out of his incredibly busy schedule to meet with interns and 
staffers alike, providing invaluable guidance as they navigate their 
Hill careers.
  To me and my wife, Jennifer, and our two children, he has been a dear 
friend. He is fiercely loyal, and I am deeply appreciative of all he 
has done for me and this institution. While Bart may be leaving the 
Hill, he is forever Team Scalise.
  I wish Bart good luck in this next new adventure that he is now 
embarking upon. I know his parents, Craig and Susan, and his brother, 
Brett, are so proud of what he has accomplished. I thank him for the 
positive mark he has left on this great institution.
