“Timothy Wineman has worked for the Senate for 35 years. On September 28, the Senate noted the outstanding service of Tim by adopting S. Res. 258. He has spent his entire 35 years of Senate service working in the Disbursing Office. That in itself is a commendable feat. In 1970, Tim began his career as a payroll clerk and was promoted to payroll supervisor 6 years later. He continued to receive promotions and in 1998 became the Senate's financial clerk. Tim's career in the Disbursing Office has been stellar. You could always count on Tim and his staff for topnotch service and to accommodate Members and staff. Tim and his wife Pat met in high school, got married, and have two children, Matthew and Lory. Matt and Lory have provided Tim and Pat with four grandchildren--two boys and two girls. Tim plans to spend the first 6 months trying to get his sea legs, enjoying some ``downtime'' with his family and playing a little golf. He and Pat then plan to do some traveling. They want to go to Alaska to see what is happening there. I salute Tim on his service to the Senate and congratulate him on a job well done. He certainly was part of the Senate family and always will be. I hope he enjoys his retirement. ____________________”
