                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 15, 2006

  Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia. I rise today to honor to Mr. Anthony J. 
``Tony'' Zagami on the occasion of his retirement after 40 years of 
dedicated public service to the legislative branch and to our Nation.
  I first met Tony in the mid-1960s, when we both served as pages in 
the United States Senate and attended the Capitol Page School. Tony 
continued his service to Congress while working his way through college 
and law school. He received a bachelor of science degree from the 
University of Maryland School of Business and Public Administration, 
and a Juris Doctor from the George Mason University School of Law. He 
served in a variety of positions before leaving Capitol Hill in 1990 to 
become general counsel to the Government Printing Office, the agency 
responsible for producing the Congressional Record. He worked 
tirelessly to improve and modernize the organization.
  Tony has been active in many professional, civic and social 
organizations, including the American and Federal Bar Associations, the 
U.S. Capitol Historical Society, the National Italian American 
Foundation, the Make-A-Wish Children's Foundation of Greater 
Washington, and the U.S. Senate Staff Club, of which he served as a 
board member and counsel. He is an elected official and former chairman 
of the U.S. Senate Federal Credit Union Board of Directors, as well as 
the past president of the Capitol Hill Chapter of the Federal Bar 
Association.
  Throughout his many years on Capitol Hill and at GPO, Tony was known 
for his dedication and commitment to public service. He has been the 
recipient of numerous awards and recognitions, among them being listed 
in Who's Who in Washington and Who's Who In American Law. His vast 
experience and knowledge will be greatly missed.
  Mr. Speaker, in closing, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating Anthony J. ``Tony'' Zagami and wishing him the best of 
luck in all future endeavors.
