                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 14, 2005

  Mr. WYNN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and thank Michael 
Sardone for his 21 years of dedicated public service to this Congress 
and the Federal Government. His career epitomizes professionalism and 
commitment to public service.
  Mr. Sardone has served as an indexer and editor for the Congressional 
Record Index office, under the auspices of the Joint Committee on 
Printing and now a part of the GPO, since his appointment by former 
Senator Mathias of Maryland in 1984. His detailed knowledge of 
congressional history and process has earned him the respect of both 
his colleagues and Hill staffers. As an editor for the Congressional 
Record Index, he has also served as editor and project manager for the 
Congressional Directory and has spearheaded the production of indexes 
for both the House and Senate Journals.
  Mr. Sardone is a Maryland native. He grew up in the Wheaton area of 
Montgomery County and graduated from Frostburg State University with a 
degree in political science. He met his wife, Ginny, at the Index 
office. She now works for the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development. They have one son, Matthew.
  As he embarks on new endeavors, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
extending gratitude for his hard work and dedication to the Congress 
and the Nation.
