Celia Israel: “We who serve too often overlook the hard work and dedication of those…”

On the recordMay 17, 2013

We who serve too often overlook the hard work and dedication of those who serve with us, the members of our staff. Today, I rise to recognize the dedication of Jack Pratt. Jack is my chief of staff. Today, he departs for new responsibilities. I hired him on my very first day in Congress 12 years ago, and he rose through the ranks. More than almost anyone I know, I have depended on Jack in good times and in bad, through thick and thin. Now, with a new baby in his life, he opens up a new chapter of his life. I wish him well and his wife, Kristin, and two kids, Callie and William. Thank you, Jack Pratt, my chief of staff and my friend. ____________________

Reclaiming my time, the EPA uses scientists engaged in research on pesticides. It uses scientists engaged in other health- related emergencies. We have a difference of opinion as to how to deploy those scientists, where to deploy those…
