           THANKING GARY DENICK FOR HIS SERVICE TO THE HOUSE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. VERNON J. EHLERS

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 8, 2006

  Mr. EHLER. Mr. Speaker, on the occasion of his retirement in February 
2006, I rise to thank Mr. Gary Denick for 32 years of outstanding 
service to the United States government, with the majority of it served 
here in the U.S. House of Representatives.
  Gary began his government career in 1972 as a soldier in the U.S. 
Army after graduating from Miami University of Ohio. He was trained as 
a television specialist, served a tour of duty in the Republic of Korea 
and was honorably discharged in 1975. Three years later, in May of 
1978, Gary joined the production staff of the House Recording Studio as 
a camera operator. The next year he was part of the original television 
crew that made history providing the first floor coverage of House 
proceedings.
  Over the past 28 years Gary has risen through the ranks to become the 
director of the House Recording Studio. He has led not by authority, 
but by example. His management philosophy has been, ``When you have 
good people just stand out of their way and let them do their job.'' 
Throughout the most difficult times his motto has been, ``With faith 
and confidence things always work out.'' The House Recording Studio's 
record of excellent customer service to Members of the House of 
Representatives reflects Gary Denick's leadership and vision.
  On behalf of the entire House community, I extend congratulations to 
Gary for his many years of dedication and outstanding contributions to 
the U.S. House of Representatives. We wish him many wonderful years in 
fulfilling his retirement dreams.
