                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. NICK LAMPSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 21, 2003

  Mr. LAMPSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to wish a fond farewell to a 
member of my staff, David Lofye, who will be leaving Capitol Hill at 
the end of this calender year. David is leaving his position as my 
Deputy Chief of Staff, and will be moving to Austin, Texas with his 
wife, Andrea Lofye.
  All of us who serve in Congress know how important our staff members 
are to us. David came to my office after completing law school nearly 
six years ago. His knowledge of legislative issues, his strong work 
ethic, and his desire to make a difference have grown exponentially 
during this time. I value David's council and his pragmatic and 
methodical approach to each task he undertook.
  David has staffed me on both the Transportation and Infrastructure 
Committee, as well as the Science Committee. His depth of knowledge on 
these and other issues has been invaluable over the past six years.
  I am grateful to have had the opportunity to know and work with 
David. I am confident that his abilities and his work ethic will 
continue to serve him well in the years to come.
  David, thank you for your hard work over the last six years. You will 
truly be missed.
