GEORGE W. GEKAS\n\n                            of pennsylvania\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Friday, November 22, 2002\n\n  Mr. GEKAS. Mr. Speaker, on November 19, 2002, I submitted remarks\nthanking my congressional staff. Inadvertently, several lines from\nthose remarks were not included in that Congressional Record. I here\nresubmit those missing lines which thanked Phil Jodz and Mike Rule on\nmy staff for their contributions to my incumbency.\n  The end of a congressional career brings about many emotions. Over\nthe last 20 years I have happily spent representing the fine people of\nthe 17th Congressional District of Pennsylvania I have had the pleasure\nof working with thousands of constituents, local, state and federal\nofficials, and many former and current distinguished members of the\nU.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. To all of them I\nsay, thanks for working with me towards a better America.\n  And, of course, every Member of Congress works with many, many\ncompetent staff, from the staff in their own personal offices to the\ncommittee and subcommittee staff and the leadership and floor staff. It\nhas often been said that without staff where would this institution be?\nAnd I concur with that statement, for without the many fine staff with\nwhom I have had the good fortune to work, I and other Members of\nCongress of the United States would be far worse off.\n  Phil Jodz, is the many talented staff assistant who handled\nconstituent tours and interns, and also ably handled press, legislative\nresearch, the office website, and all manner of writing in my office.\nMike Rule, our newest staff assistant, showed a willingness, and more\nimportantly a capability, to do whatever was needed to assist the\noffice.\n  To both I say please accept my sincere thanks for making my tenure in\nthe U.S. House of Representatives a productive and pleasant one. Any\ncurrent Member of Congress or committee would be well served by the\nhigh-quality staff with whom it has been my pleasure to work over these\nmany years.\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-2002-11-22-pt1-PgE2130-3"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 56.897192960605025, "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"}
