HONORING JAMES MIN FOR EXEMPLARY SERVICE TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 44 (Monday, March 10, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 44 (Monday, March 10, 2025)] [House] [Pages H1060-H1061] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING JAMES MIN FOR EXEMPLARY SERVICE TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES (Mr. JACK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. JACK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. James Min for his 25 years of exemplary service to this House of Representatives. A graduate from Stanford University and Georgetown Law, James served as the chief of staff to Vince Fong; the 55th Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy; and chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Bill Thomas. In advance of this speech, I consulted with mutual friends of ours asking for stories that best describe James. One of our friends likened him to Jozef de Veuster, later known as Father Damien, who was venerated for his selfless acts in service to humanity. Another equated him to ``the Nature Boy,'' Ric Flair. Others shared wonderful memories from a specific fish market along the Potomac River, but a theme developed across each story. James Min always puts others first. Hundreds, if not thousands, of folks sought his advice when they first moved to Washington, D.C., the first step in successful careers for many. [[Page H1061]] Jackie Robinson once said: ``A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.'' James Min personifies that statement and sentiment. Mr. Speaker, we wish James well in his next endeavor as his legacy here lasts for generations to come. ____________________
