E2210 | Congressional Record, Volume 150 Issue 140 (Monday, December 20, 2004) [Congressional Record Volume 150, Number 140 (Monday, December 20, 2004)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E2210] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] IN RECOGNITION OF THE DISTINGUISHED CAREER OF MR. ARTHUR LIBERTUCCI ______ HON. MIKE THOMPSON of california in the house of representatives Monday, December 20, 2004 Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the career of Arthur Libertucci. On January 3, 2005 Mr. Libertucci will retire from his post as Administrator of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, capping a long and distinguished career of public service. Mr. Libertucci's service has spanned four decades. He joined the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms in 1972 as an inspector in New York City. Over the years he has served in a number of positions at ATF headquarters and in field offices throughout the country. Mr. Speaker, after working his way through the ranks of the ATF, Mr. Libertucci became a federal executive in 1989. He has held many executive positions in the ATF from Associate Director for Compliance Operations to Assistant Director for the Office of Alcohol and Tobacco. Following the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security and the reorganization of the ATF, Mr. Libertucci was charged with establishing a new bureau to regulate the alcohol and tobacco industries. Mr. Libertucci's experience and commitment to public service made him the clear choice to lead the new Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. Mr. Speaker, I have the privilege of representing some of America's premier wine regions and consequently, I have had the pleasure of working very closely with Mr. Libertucci over the years. He is a consummate professional who has gone to great lengths to ensure that the TTB is a partner of the American wine industry and not just a regulator. Under Mr. Libertucci's leadership, the TTB has played a significant role in fostering the growth and economic vitality of the domestic wine industry. Mr. Speaker, it is appropriate that we recognize Mr. Libertucci for his service to our country and his commitment to public service. His efforts in the organization of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau will have a lasting impact on the United States Government. I thank Mr. Libertucci for his service and I wish him well in his new endeavors. ____________________ |
