“the Senate Budget Committee wishes to honor and recognize Jeffrey Holland on his retirement after 26 years of distinguished service to the Congress with the Congressional Budget Office. Jeff is highly regarded by Republicans and Democrats on both sides of the Capitol for his deep knowledge of the budget process and his commitment to the nonpartisan role that CBO plays in the budget process. Jeff arrived at CBO in 1991 soon after graduation from Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz School of Public Policy with a master's degree in public policy and management. He joined the projections unit in the budget analysis division, which is responsible for preparing projections of Federal spending, deficit, debt, and other data related to the Federal budget, as well as providing ongoing support to Congress. In 1999, Jeff became chief of the projections unit, and for the past 18 years, he has successfully overseen the production of multiple reports on the Budget and Economic Outlook, annual analyses of the President's budget request, and also several reports on sequestration, the debt ceiling, national income, and product accounts, and the Troubled Asset Relief Program. Through all of these tasks, he has been the steady hand of the projections unit, generous with his time and knowledge, and highly responsive to questions and requests for data or information from the staff of the Budget Committee.…”
