As the chairman of the Committee on Ethics and along with my colleague, Linda Saanchez, the ranking member, and other members of the committee, past and present, we rise today to honor the life and work of Carol Dixon. Every so often, through hard work, immense talent, and a zealous dedication to the mission of this body, a staffer becomes an institution of the House. Carol Dixon had achieved that status. Known to many simply as the Ethics Lady, Carol's intelligence, candor, and infectious laugh made the House a better, more honorable place. As director of our Advice and Education section, Carol's command of the ethics rules was unmatched, as evidenced by the large number of Members and employees from both sides of the aisle who continually sought out Carol to specifically ask for her guidance. Her sudden passing this weekend is a tremendous loss for both the Ethics Committee and the House. ____________________
