“I want to thank a man who is a fixture in this institution. Tom Lundregan is the Senate's enrolling clerk and as fine a public servant as you will find anywhere. Today marks his last day in the Senate, and I know that I speak for all of us when I say we are going to miss him. Tom began his Government service 36 years ago as a printing apprentice with the Government Printing Office. Over the next 21 years, he was detailed a number of times to both the House and the Senate. Fifteen years ago, the Senate was fortunate enough to convince Tom to join us full-time, as member of the Office of the Senate Enrolling Clerk. Since 1995, he has headed that office and served this institution with great distinction. It is the enrolling clerk's responsibility to proofread and prepare for printing every page of legislation the Senate passes, and then transmit those pages to the House of Representatives, the National Archives, the Secretary of State, the United States Claims Court, and the White House.”
