                     PAYING TRIBUTE TO BRUCE JAMES

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JON C. PORTER

                               of nevada

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 27, 2006

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Bruce James, who is 
retiring after 3\1/2\ years as the Public Printer of the United States.
  Bruce James was appointed by President Bush to be the Public Printer 
of the United States in 2002 and made a commitment to serve three to 
five years. Bruce is able to claim many successes during his tenure as 
the Public Printer of the United States, most notably that he took a 
government office operating at a $35 million-a-year deficit and made it 
profitable, using those profits to reorganize the agency to increase 
the use of digital technology and the Internet in carrying out its 
business.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor Bruce James for his distinguished 
record as head of the Government Printing Office. In this role as a 
public servant he served with honor and dignity. I wish him the best in 
his retirement and with any future endeavors.
