                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 26, 2019

  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank 
Kathleen G. Ott for her years of dedicated service to Congress in her 
role as the Director of Congressional Relations for the Library of 
Congress. In 2008, Dr. James Billington, former Librarian of Congress, 
recognized Kathy's talents and appointed her to her esteemed position 
as Director of Congressional Relations.
  Kathy devoted more than a decade of her career to building strong 
relationships between the Library of Congress and Members of Congress 
and their staffs. Throughout her tenure with the library, she built 
bipartisan support with the Committee on House Administration for many 
library initiatives.
  In 2009, she fostered the forming of the Library of Congress Caucus 
and a few years later assisted in creating the library's Congressional 
Dialogue Dinner Series. Kathy has played an integral role in developing 
the congressional relations office at the library and ensuring Member 
involvement in numerous library events.
  I am grateful for her efforts to promote the work of the library and 
ensure that the work of Congress remains at the forefront of their 
mission.
