     decision to end my service as Clerk of the House effective

       Because of your vision and support, many of the goals you

     achieved, the most significant among them being the amount of 
     immediate legislative information now available to all

     when fully implemented will position this Office to support 
     the efforts of the House in even more dramatic ways as we 
     approach the millennium.
       Thank you for providing such a magnificent opportunity for 
     me to be a part of this unique institution.
