HONORING MS. SARAH YOUNG GLACKIN
______
HON. TIM RYAN
of ohio
in the house of representatives
Friday, October 15, 2021
Mr. RYAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and thank Sarah Young Glackin on her long and distinguished career as a member of staff on the House Appropriations Committee as she prepares to leave us for new endeavors.
Myself and my fellow colleagues--on both sides of the aisle--have relied extensively on Sarah's expertise in many appropriations matters, most notably in the areas of defense and military construction.
Sarah's career began on the Subcommittee on Defense, with a portfolio that included Tricare and Defense Health Programs.
Four years later, she moved to the Subcommittee on Military Quality of Life and then Subcommittee on Interior and Environment. She soon returned to Defense, where she worked on Counterdrug and Narcotics, Missile Defense, Defense Health Programs, Military Medical Research, and TRICARE. For the last decade, Sarah has served on the Subcommittee on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies.
She was responsible for military construction across all components and services, the improvement of housing for our servicemembers and their Families, and the NATO security investment program. Oftentimes congressional staffers are not appropriately recognized for their service. However, they are the Americans from all over our nation that represent the fabric of our country. Sarah has served in more ways than one.
Madam Speaker, Sarah has been an institution on the Appropriations Committee since the moment I arrived there. My Colleagues and myself will miss her dedication, her patience, and her deep reservoir of knowledge. I want to wish Sarah all the best as she pursues new adventures.
