TIM ROEMER\n\n                               of indiana\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                        Friday, October 7, 1994\n\n  Mr. ROEMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as the session closes on a\nbittersweet note. One of the most valuable people in my organization\nwill take his leave soon to pursue further professional goals and\nideals.\n  Bernie Toon, my chief of staff, will soon take an important position\nin the U.S. Senate and will be leaving huge shoes to fill in my\nWashington office. But he also leaves behind an outstanding record of\nachievement for the people of the Third District of Indiana, who have\ncome to know, respect, and love him for his administrative talents,\nlegislative skill, and his warm and caring personality.\n  Bernie Toon is that rate chief of staff who commands not only the\nrespect and admiration of the staff, but also earns their fondness and\nloyalty as well. He is able to bring out superior performance while\nalways maintaining pleasant demeanor.\n  In short, he is a leader.\n  Known as ``Ray'' to his family, Bernie is a native Hoosier. He served\nably before coming to my office as an aide in the Senate, at the\nPentagon, and for the House Intelligence Committee. He is remembered\nfairly and fondly by the many people with whom he has worked.\n  His personal style and professionalism will be missed, yet I know he\nwill serve in a superior capacity in his new position. It has been my\nextreme pleasure to have watched him develop and grow in running my\noperation, and although we will miss him, it is with great pride and\nadmiration that I watch him take on this new and deserved challenge. It\nis a tribute to my staff that Bernie moves on to continue to serve the\npublic and the country.\n  Mr. Speaker, my wife Sally and I, along with the entire Roemer\norganization, wish Bernie and his wife Tracy the very best in the\nfuture, and though we are sad to lose such talent, we know we have in\nBernard R. Toon the very best kind of friend, for life.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-1994-10-08-pt1-PgE3"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 55.387428030371666, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
