                           HON. ROBERT W. NEY

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 6, 2005

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, on the occasion of her retirement in October 
2005, we rise to thank Mrs. Sherri Savercool for 25 years of 
outstanding service to the U.S. House of Representatives.
  Sherri began her career at the House working as an Administrative 
Specialist and shortly afterwards she was promoted to a Technical 
Support Specialist. For the past 25 years Sherri has served this great 
institution as a valuable employee of House Information Resources (HIR) 
within the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer.
  During her career Sherri held many positions of increasing 
responsibility, requiring her to learn new and evolving computer 
technologies. She worked in the Customer Services Group providing 
technical customer support and training to Members of Congress and 
their staffs.
  In the early 1980s when the House began using personal computers, 
Sherri was there helping both Member and Committee offices with the 
integration of their office automation requirements and procedures. She 
continuously expanded her technical expertise to help House staff in 
their use of personal computers and a wide range of desktop software. 
Over time she began supporting more complex hardware and software 
technology projects as well as managing the Office Management 
Demonstration and Training Center. There she was responsible for the 
day-to-day operation of the Center that provided equipment 
demonstrations and consulting services for all House staff. Sherri 
participated in past Congressional transitions for many years, playing 
an important role ensuring that Members made a seamless transition.
  Since 1995, Sherri has been a valuable member of HIR's Client 
Services Group where she has provided direct technical support and 
training to all House Staff. Sherri has been very customer oriented, 
displaying great passion for her work and maintaining excellent 
relationships with her customers. As a result of this dedication, each 
of her customers received the best available and most cost-effective 
office automation services and training.
  On behalf of the entire House community, we extend congratulations to 
Sherri for her many years of dedication and outstanding contributions 
to the U.S. House of Representatives. We wish Sherri many wonderful 
years in fulfilling her retirement dreams.
