ZAGAMI\n\n Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, a well-respected public servant\nwill soon retire after 40 years of outstanding service to our\nGovernment and the American people.\n  Anthony J. ``Tony'' Zagami first came to Capitol Hill in 1965, at the\nage of 13, to serve as a page in the United States Senate. Several\nyears later, Tony returned as an assistant to the Secretary of the\nSenate. I was the whip for the Republican party at the time, and in\nthis capacity, it was my privilege to work closely with Tony and the\nSecretary. Tony also spent 9 years as the general counsel to the Joint\nCommittee on Printing, which I was ranking member of from 1987 to 1992.\n  Tony left the halls of Congress in 1990 to become general counsel at\nthe U.S.\n\n[[Page S11856]]\n\nGovernment Printing Office, and he has remained in this post for the\npast 16 years. Tony's legislative background has proven to be a\ntremendous asset during his tenure as general counsel. His leadership\nand vision have helped transform the GPO into a profitable, efficient,\nand thoroughly modern organization.\n  In January, Tony will retire as the longest serving general counsel\nin the GPO's 145-year history. In honor of his many accomplishments,\nTony has also been named the first general counsel emeritus of the GPO.\n  On behalf of my colleagues in Congress, I thank Tony for his\ndedication and hard work over the years. We all wish Tony, his wife,\nand their three children the very best.\n Mr. SARBANES. Mr. President, as the 109th Congress comes to a\nclose, I would like to recognize a longtime public servant and Maryland\nresident. Anthony J. ``Tony'' Zagami will soon retire as the general\ncounsel of the U.S. Government Printing Office after more than 40 years\nof Federal service. I met Tony during my first term in the Senate while\nhe was finishing law school and working as a young intern in the Senate\nDemocratic Cloakroom. Tony went on to serve in a number of other\npositions here on Capitol Hill before leaving in 1990 to become the\ngeneral counsel for the GPO.\n  Tony Zagami began his Federal service as a page in the U.S. Senate\nduring the 1960s and will end it as the longest serving general counsel\nin GPO history. Along the way, he also earned degrees from the\nUniversity of Maryland School of Business and Public Administration and\nthe George Mason University School of Law. Tony has earned the respect\nand admiration of many of us here in the Congress as well as his\ncolleagues in other legislative branch agencies and the executive\nbranch. I know that my colleagues here in the Senate would join me in\nwishing him all the best in health and happiness as he completes a very\nlong and noteworthy career. In retirement, I'm sure that Tony will\nremain a very active citizen of Montgomery County, MD, where he resides\nwith his wife, Erin, and three children.\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-2006-12-27-pt1-PgS11855"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 48.21107815951109, "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"}
