“I have known and worked with Jay since I came to Congress in 1990 and have grown to admire and respect his professionalism and his work product. I am honored today to be able to stand on the floor and introduce this resolution to make him the chief administrative officer of the House of Representatives. Jay has worked on the Hill since 1982. He started out in Congressman Steve Gunderson's office and moved over to work for the gentleman from Pennsylvania in 1985. He then went to work for the Committee on Education and the Workforce in 1991 as the Republican chief of staff and is currently in that same position. I know Jay to be an excellent leader, a meticulous organizer, a fabulous administrator and a well-respected manager. I also know Jay on a personal level and know of his deep commitment to his work and to this institution. He will be a wonderful chief administrative officer to this House and I cannot think of anyone else I would rather recommend for this job than Jay Egan.”
