Susan, youre going to be missed. It will be hard to turn around and not see you here but i am so happy for you, the beneficiary heres what youve done for the committee but also at the administration of officer courts are to do.

Susan later moved to the democratic stamp on the former chair Ranking Member john conyers where she expanded her portfolio to include Administrative Law the federal courts and ethics issues. When i was elected to serve as chair he also asked susan to serve as committee parliamentarian. In addition to her all their duties. To develop procedures for hearings, markups and other committee activities. Regular viewers of this committee will recognize as the person sitting behind me providing the wise counsel. Susan has been essential to the operations of this committee and shes been involved in nearly every pace of Committee Business over the last year. Though she will be leaving the committee she will continue the book service as she transitions to a position with the Administrative Office of the u. S. Court. I wish her well as i think her
