                       Wednesday, March 18, 2026

  Mr. MORELLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Julie A. Poole as she 
retires after more than three decades of distinguished service to the 
federal government, including 25 years with the U.S. House of 
Representatives, Office of Inspector General.
  Julie began her federal career in 1992 as an auditor at the National 
Science Foundation. She later served as an auditor with the Department 
of the Treasury, Office of Inspector General from 1997 to 2000. In 
2000, Julie joined the House OIG, where she would spend the next 
quarter century advancing oversight, accountability, and sound 
stewardship of public resources.
  At the House OIG, Julie's expertise, professionalism, and commitment 
to excellence earned the respect of colleagues and stakeholders alike. 
Over the years, her leadership and skills led to her appointment as 
Assistant Director for Performance and Financial Audits and 
Investigations. In this role, she guided complex audit and 
investigative work, strengthened internal controls, and contributed 
significantly to the effectiveness and credibility of the Office of 
Inspector General.
  Julie's legacy is defined not only by her measurable accomplishments, 
but also by her values of integrity, accountability, and quality, which 
she cultivated throughout her career. Her dedication to public service 
has left a lasting impact on the institution and her colleagues.
  As Julie embarks on this new chapter, we extend our deepest gratitude 
and warmest wishes for a fulfilling retirement. Her career stands as a 
testament to the values that uphold the U.S. House of Representatives 
and the commitment to serve the American people.
