“Today, Ron Kavulick, who has faithfully served the United States Senate for 20 years, will officially retire from the Senate family. It took Ron Kavulick a while to get to the Senate. He worked first as an official court reporter for the office of The Judge Advocate General, United States Air Force, and later, as an official reporter in the White House--serving Presidents Nixon and Johnson. When he finally got to us, as an Official Reporter of Senate Debates, he advanced quickly, ultimately serving as Chief Reporter. As Chief Reporter, Ron oversaw the preparation and editing of the proceedings of the Senate for publication in the Congressional Record. His greatest challenge, perhaps, was the impeachment trial of the President, where Ron's institutional memory and experience were called upon throughout the lengthy proceedings. I commend Ron for his dedicated service, and wish him and his wife, Pat, many years of health and happiness in retirement.”
