                          Tuesday, May 1, 2007

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, on the occasion of his 
retirement on May 2, 2007, we rise to thank Mr. David C. Folk for 20 
years of distinguished service to the United States House of 
Representatives. David has served this great institution as a valuable 
employee for the Chief Administrative Officer.
  David began his tenure with the United States House of 
Representatives in May of 1987 as a data communications specialist in 
the House Information Systems group. David's career at the House is one 
of consistent and steady contributions while meeting customer requests 
in voice and data wiring infrastructure. Specifically, David managed 
the rewiring upgrade of the House side of the Capitol and the Member 
Offices in all of the House Office Buildings.
  He also was the Quality Assurance Evaluator on the original House 
Infrastructure contract and assisted in the development of differing 
voice systems such as the Member Paging System and the press 
secretaries systems for the broadcast media organizations. Finally, 
David managed the first Secure Communications program for the House and 
grew it from its infancy to where it is today.
  David has been a key contributor to the CAO efforts on wiring 
infrastructure. His standard of excellence, dedication to passionate 
customer service, organizational skills, professionalism and ability to 
get the job done is well noted by his colleagues.
  On behalf of the entire House community, we extend congratulations to 
David for many years of dedication and outstanding contributions to the 
United States House of Representatives. We wish David many wonderful 
years in fulfilling his retirement dreams.
