On the recordDecember 4, 2020
As ranking member on the Subcommittee of Environment and Climate Change, I want to thank Chief Counsel Mary Martin, Deputy Chief Counsel Jerry Couri, and senior professional staff member, Peter Spencer, for their tremendous support of me and commonsense, practical legislation that has protected human health and the environment and supports jobs and the economy. If the public knew how hard that committee staff members work, they would have a better appreciation of our government. Mary, Jerry, Peter, you have my personal thanks. I would also be remiss if I didn't thank the loyal opposition, Democrat Staff Director Rick Kessler and Democrat Senior Counsel Jackie Cohen. Although many times adversaries, both have become friends. ____________________
