RECOGNIZING JAMES MIN

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 44 (Monday, March 10, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 44 (Monday, March 10, 2025)] [House] [Page H1060] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING JAMES MIN (Mr. FONG asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. FONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize my chief of staff, James Min. He will be departing Capitol Hill. James and I met as congressional interns. Over the years, he has become a close friend, mentor, and trusted adviser. On the Hill since 1999, James has held the title ``chief of staff'' for over 20 years, serving as chief of staff to House Committee on Ways and Means Chairman Bill Thomas; to Speaker Kevin McCarthy as the majority whip, majority leader, Republican leader, and Speaker; and became my chief of staff when I was elected last year. James has not only dedicated his career to advising some of our top lawmakers but also devoted countless hours to mentoring the next generation of congressional staffers and public servants. Mr. Speaker, I thank James for his constant support and loyalty. James helped develop and implement policies that made our country stronger. Words cannot describe the positive impact he has had on so many of us, and I am blessed to call him my friend. ____________________
