  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of myself and John Larson our Ranking 
Member, I

[[Page 10588]]

would like to take this opportunity to recognize Assistant Counsel 
Carolyn Betz of the Office of General Counsel for the House. Ms. Betz 
has served in the House Counsel's Office since November 1995 and will 
shortly be relocating to upstate New York. We will miss her.
  During the past seven and a half years, Ms. Betz has provided 
frequent and valuable service to the Committee on House Administration, 
and our staff has come to rely on her legal guidance, as well as her 
common sense approach to problem-solving. She has assisted us not only 
with legal advice but also with creation and implementation of numerous 
policies of significance to the House as an institution. Most recently, 
Ms. Betz was instrumental in finalizing the terms of the House's 
participation in the debt collection program offered by the Department 
of the Treasury. While in the House Counsel's Office, she has handled a 
wide range of legal issues, and we know that her expertise is greatly 
valued by other House offices.
  On behalf of the Committee on House Administration, I would like to 
thank Carolyn Betz for her devoted service to the house. We wish her 
great success in her future endeavors.
