                         RECOGNIZING BEN NAPIER

  (Mr. SCALISE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SCALISE. Mr. Speaker, this week, we say good-bye to a longtime 
member of my staff and also a long-known face here on the floor of the 
House, Ben Napier.
  Ben started his career on the Rules Committee, and he has been a part 
of Team Scalise for nearly a decade. Starting as floor assistant and 
working his way all the way up to the position he serves today: floor 
director of the House of Representatives for the last 6 years.
  Nobody knows the ins and outs of floor procedure better than Ben, and 
he is a trusted presence and a familiar face on the floor to all 
Members. Ben has had a hand in every piece of legislation that has 
crossed the floor in the last 9 years and has shepherded nearly every 
House Republican through the process of getting bills to the floor.
  Ben has been an integral part in setting and carrying out the House 
agenda during our time in the majority and has overseen major 
legislative wins, touching everything from tax reform to energy policy 
to crypto modernization.
  Ben has been a trusted adviser and a critical team player. His 
departure will be felt by everyone on Capitol Hill, but I know he will 
excel in his next chapter.
  I thank Ben for his years of dedicated service to the Capitol family.
  Thank you and congratulations, Ben.
