On the recordFebruary 18, 2011
First of all, I want to thank the entire staff of the House Appropriations Committee for the fantastic work that they have done. No one better exemplifies those qualities than Mr. John Blazey. One of the best moves we made was to steal him away from the Senate Budget Committee. Next week, Blazey will end his 20-year career with the committee, where he worked on five different subcommittees, and holds the distinction of having been named the Transportation subcommittee staff director at the youngest age. His knowledge of process and substance is matched only by his style and parties. Blazey--and his elf costume--will be missed.
