                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 28, 2005

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, on the occasion of his retirement, I would like 
to thank Jack Katz for his outstanding service to the U.S. House of 
Representatives over the past 28 years.
  Throughout the years, Jack has made significant contributions to the 
financial management of the U.S. House of Representatives' accounts and 
the processing and oversight of the staff payroll. Jack began his 
career with the House on March 25, 1977 and has served this great 
institution in financial counseling and payroll positions within the 
offices of both the Clerk of the House and the Chief Administrative 
Officer. He has held the positions of Auditor, Accounts Clerk and 
Financial Management Counselor in the Office of Finance, and currently 
holds the position of Payroll Counselor in the Office of Human 
Resources. During the past 28 years, Jack has provided
financial and payroll guidance to every entity of the House, assuring 
that House staff is paid accurately and on time each month. His payroll 
and financial acumen has enabled House entities to make critical 
decisions related to financial and staff payroll issues. He has also 
provided many years of financial and payroll support and guidance to 
the countless House staff members who have worked in this great 
institution throughout the years.
  On behalf of the entire House community, I would like to extend my 
congratulations to Jack Katz for his many years of dedication and 
outstanding contributions to the House staff payroll function. I wish 
Jack and his wife Melissa many wonderful years in fulfilling their 
retirement dreams.
