IN RECOGNITION OF JOHN WILLIAMS AND HIS SERVICE TO THE HOUSE JUDICIARY 
                               COMMITTEE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JERROLD NADLER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 8, 2022

  Mr. NADLER. Madam Speaker, I rise to thank John Williams for his 
service to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
  John came to the Committee as merely the last step in a distinguished 
career in public service. He previously worked for various offices on 
Capitol Hill, including for former Representative Baron Hill of 
Indiana, the House Committee on Rules, the House Committee on Oversight 
and Government Reform, and the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, 
and Transportation. He has also held positions at the Democratic 
Congressional Campaign Committee, the IMPAC 2000 redistricting project, 
and, most recently-before rejoining us on the Hill-at the Federal 
Communications Commission. John received his bachelor's degree from the 
University of Virginia, his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, and 
his J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center.
  John joined the Committee on the Judiciary as Senior Counsel and 
Parliamentarian in November 2019, as the House was in the midst of its 
first impeachment inquiry into then-President Trump. His knowledge of 
House procedure and parliamentary rules were critical as we navigated 
the first Presidential impeachment in two decades--and again a year 
later as we conducted the second impeachment of that same president.
  John has played an integral role advising me, our subcommittee 
chairs, and staff over the course of more than 75 committee hearings 
and more than 100 bill votes in committee and on the House floor. John 
also worked especially closely with our subcommittees as we 
participated in several reconciliation processes this Congress.
  John's knowledge and counsel have been invaluable as we have worked 
to deliver tangible results for the American people over the past two 
years. His guidance has helped us move dozens of bills through both 
chambers of Congress and to the President's desk. We will miss John's 
work ethic and counsel as he takes the next step in his career.
  We thank John for his service to the Committee and wish him the best 
of luck with this new chapter.
