The employees we acknowledge today are commended for their hard work, dedication, professionalism, and teamwork; support of House Members, their staffs, and their constituents, and for their day-in and day-out efforts and impacts to the overall operations of the House. These employees, whose work is primarily performed behind the scenes, possess a wide range of responsibilities, skills, and knowledge that supports the legislative process, ensures the security of this great institution, maintains our technology and service infrastructure, and contributes to more efficient and productive House support operations. These devoted employees have accomplished noteworthy and essential work in a diverse range of activities, and the House of Representatives, its Members, staff, and the American public is better served because of them. We recognize and honor the following individuals for 25 years of loyal service to the House. Collectively, the employees listed have provided 250 years of service to the U.S. House of Representatives.

On behalf of the entire House community, I once again congratulate, acknowledge, and express our gratitude to these employees for their professionalism and commitment to the U.S. House of Representatives as a whole, and in particular to their respective House Officer or the Inspector General, and collaboratively across these organizations. Their long hours, hard work, diverse skills, and team spirit are invaluable, and their years of unwavering service and dedication to the House sets an impressive example for their colleagues and for the employees who will follow in their footsteps. I applaud all our honorees, and I am proud to stand before you and our great Nation on their behalf to recognize the importance of their public service. ____________________
