TRIBUTE TO DANNY REMINGTON
Mr. LANKFORD. Mr. President, I rise as chairman of the Select
Committee on Ethics and on behalf of the members of the committee and
its staff to pay tribute to Danny Remington, the committee's director
of IT and operations, as he retires after 30 years of Senate service
and almost 29 of those years with the committee. Danny joined the staff
in October of 1996, hired by then-committee Chairman McConnell. In
total, Danny served with 10 committee chairmen, five staff directors,
and dozens of Senate colleagues who will remember his steady demeanor
and willingness to assist with any task. Danny's tenure spans decades
of technological advancement and process improvement. Joining the
committee in a world of floppy disks and years before the office had an
internet connection, Danny transitioned the committee into 21st
century, or at least 20th century, technology while maintaining an
enduring commitment to the core principle of confidentiality that
guides all the committee's work. Beyond the technical achievements,
Danny represented the committee well throughout the Senate community by
establishing connections with his fellow staff members, whether they
worked for the Architect of the Capitol, the Sergeant at Arms,
Secretary of the Senate, another committee, or a Member office.
As Danny retires, he looks forward to spending more time with his
family, his wife Theresa, and their grown sons

the Select Committee on Ethics, I thank Danny for his decades of
service and commitment to the U.S. Senate. I offer my sincere best
wishes and gratitude to Danny and his family as he begins his
retirement. Thank you, Danny.
