                         TRIBUTE TO SUSAN BRITA

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JAMES P. MORAN

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 1, 2014

  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of a distinguished, 
dedicated and tireless civil servant, Susan Brita. Over 31 years, she 
has been a woman of unique and unmatched talent and expertise serving 
our government.
  Ms. Brita is a 25 year resident of my congressional district, living 
in the City of Alexandria. She has held many high level positions over 
the years, as a chief of staff, Staff Director of the House Committee 
on Transportation and Infrastructure, Subcommittee on Public Buildings 
and Grounds, and most recently, Deputy Administrator at the General 
Services Administration. An invaluable champion for good governance, 
she is widely admired and deeply respected by countless colleagues and 
friends in the federal agencies and the U.S. Congress. Susan is a 
problem solver, tenacious ally, tough advocate and I'm proud to call 
her a friend.
  Susan's expert work and support for managing federal facilities 
around the country has made our country stronger. She has been the 
author of legislation to develop highly visible projects in our 
nation's capital, such as the Old Post Office, the Southeast Federal 
Center, and the International Cultural Trade Center. These buildings 
will have an enduring influence on the topography of Washington, DC for 
centuries to come. As a dedicated civil servant and true patriot, Ms. 
Brita's leadership has set the bar high for those to come after her, 
and she will be solely missed.
  Mr. Speaker, congratulations are in order for a job well done!
