ARTHUR LIBERTUCCI\n\n                                 ______\n\n                           HON. MIKE THOMPSON\n\n                             of california\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Monday, December 20, 2004\n\n  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the\ncareer of Arthur Libertucci. On January 3, 2005 Mr. Libertucci will\nretire from his post as Administrator of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax\nand Trade Bureau, capping a long and distinguished career of public\nservice.\n  Mr. Libertucci's service has spanned four decades. He joined the\nBureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms in 1972 as an inspector in New\nYork City. Over the years he has served in a number of positions at ATF\nheadquarters and in field offices throughout the country.\n  Mr. Speaker, after working his way through the ranks of the ATF, Mr.\nLibertucci became a federal executive in 1989. He has held many\nexecutive positions in the ATF from Associate Director for Compliance\nOperations to Assistant Director for the Office of Alcohol and Tobacco.\n  Following the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security\nand the reorganization of the ATF, Mr. Libertucci was charged with\nestablishing a new bureau to regulate the alcohol and tobacco\nindustries. Mr. Libertucci's experience and commitment to public\nservice made him the clear choice to lead the new Alcohol and Tobacco\nTax and Trade Bureau.\n  Mr. Speaker, I have the privilege of representing some of America's\npremier wine regions and consequently, I have had the pleasure of\nworking very closely with Mr. Libertucci over the years. He is a\nconsummate professional who has gone to great lengths to ensure that\nthe TTB is a partner of the American wine industry and not just a\nregulator. Under Mr. Libertucci's leadership, the TTB has played a\nsignificant role in fostering the growth and economic vitality of the\ndomestic wine industry.\n  Mr. Speaker, it is appropriate that we recognize Mr. Libertucci for\nhis service to our country and his commitment to public service. His\nefforts in the organization of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade\nBureau will have a lasting impact on the United States Government. I\nthank Mr. Libertucci for his service and I wish him well in his new\nendeavors.\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-2004-12-20-pt1-PgE2210"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 13.683047145605087, "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"}
