                          HON. ROBERT A. BRADY

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 22, 2009

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor my dear 
friend, Ed McBride. After I was appointed to the Chair of the House 
Administration Committee, our colleagues nicknamed me the ``Mayor of 
Capitol Hill.'' Since he became a manager in the Government Relations 
Department in 1991, Ed has been known as Mayor of PECO.
  Ed McBride started working at PECO on September 15, 1969 as a 
Transportation Mechanic. For those of us in government, and for the 
people we serve, Ed is PECO. He acts as a voice for the customers 
within the company and as a voice for the company and its employees in 
the community.
  Madam Speaker, Ed McBride is the consummate professional. He is also 
a gentleman in every sense of the word. I'm proud to say that Ed is my 
colleague, my constituent and my friend. I ask every Member of Congress 
to join me in honoring his 40 years of service today.
