                    RETIREMENT OF MR. GEORGE DALLEY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MARCIA L. FUDGE

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 7, 2009

  Ms. FUDGE. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to congratulate Mr. George 
Dalley on his exemplary service to the United State House of 
Representatives. Mr. Dalley is retiring this year after thirty years of 
service to Chairman Rangel. Throughout his tenure in Congress, Mr. 
Dalley provided a wealth of information to CBC members and was a strong 
advocate for a more responsive approach to Africa, the Caribbean, and 
Central America.
  Having an informed, passionate and committed staff makes a 
significant difference for a Member of Congress. Mr. Dalley has been 
such a staffer for Chairman Rangel. As a journalist once wrote, 
``Dalley is the guy in Rangel's office who sees every piece of paper 
the boss sees. He's the one Rangel seeks out when he needs an answer.'' 
The trust and collegiality between these two men is indeed a rare and 
valuable commodity.
  Even in his well-deserved retirement, I am sure he will maintain a 
busy schedule advocating for the causes in which he so passionately 
believes. As Mr. Dalley continues to raise his voice in support of 
human rights around the world, I wish him the best in his retirement 
from the House of Representatives.
