                  IN RECOGNITION OF MR. TODD HARRISON

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 29, 2012

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Todd Harrison, 
the former Chief Oversight Counsel to the House Committee on Energy and 
Commerce. Mr. Harrison was hired by my colleague Mr. Upton upon 
attaining chairmanship on the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on 
Oversight and Investigations. Formerly a state and federal prosecutor, 
Mr. Harrison's single-minded commitment to oversight contributed 
immensely to the atmosphere of accountability fostered by committee 
staff.
  As a husband and father commuting to Washington from New York City on 
a weekly basis, Mr. Harrison sacrificed greatly to maintain a top-notch 
oversight staff. His complete dedication to the Subcommittee on 
Oversight and Investigation was exemplified in the work he did with me.
  I'm sure that I speak on behalf of every member of the Subcommittee 
on Oversight and Investigation in saying that Mr. Harrison was a 
treasured asset and will be missed dearly.
