                       Thursday, January 30, 2020

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Tim Horne 
who is retiring after 27 years of public service.
   Tim began his career with the General Services Administration in 
1993 in the Rocky Mountain Region. He worked his way up and is retiring 
as the Regional Commissioner for the Rocky Mountain Region of GSA's 
Public Buildings Service based out of the Denver Federal Center, 
located in the heart of my district. The Denver Federal Center is an 
important asset with the highest concentration of federal agencies 
located outside of Washington, D.C. comprised of approximately 28 
federal agencies and more than 6,000 federal employees.
   Tim also served as the Acting GSA Administrator in 2017 leading 
GSA's staff of 12,000 nationwide, overseeing more than 375 million 
square feet of property, and approximately $50 billion in annual 
contracts. These positions reflect his leadership abilities, passion 
for public service, and a true talent for bringing people together to 
get things done and improve local communities.
   In his years of service, he has worked with me and my staff on a 
number of important issues and projects that impact federal agencies 
and federal employees in my district and the state. Tim always held the 
mission of GSA and the agencies and employees he served in high regard 
and worked to find innovative solutions on behalf of those he served.
   I want to congratulate Tim Horne on a long and distinguished career, 
and I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
