Political Quotes

“I rise today to recognize an individual who has very ably served the Senate Finance Committee and the Congress for the past quarter century. Earlier this month, during the recess period, Jeanne Roby retired from the staff of the Finance Committee. I know that everyone who worked with Jeanne will miss her greatly. Jeanne joined the Finance Committee staff in 1971, after working for 3½ years at the Committee on Banking and Currency in the other body. At Finance, she served in various capacities, most recently handling administrative matters for the tax division. Jeanne's professionalism, dedication to duty and hard work were unsurpassed. She made a major contribution in accomplishing the work of the committee. Having served under five Finance chairmen, Jeanne also became an important source of the institutional memory of the committee. Her kindness, thoughtfulness, and wonderful sense of humor made her a joy to work with. Jeanne leaves us for a part-year post with the Maryland General Assembly. This will give her more time to be with her husband Roby, for boating on the Chesapeake, and, of course, for her beloved Scottish Terrier Watson. On behalf of the Finance Committee, I would like to thank Jeanne Roby for over 22 years of hard work, and to wish her all the best in the coming years. I hope she will remember fondly her days with us. We will all certainly miss her.”
