Bonus …

As some of you may know, after nearly seven years of service with our Committee as our Computer Systems Administrator, Dawson Foard has moved on to the Senate Disbursing Office.  We thank him for his diligence, patience and good humor.

We are excited to introduce Dominic Taylor as the new Systems Administrator on our Committee.  With years of experience in Information Technology in the private sector and in Senator Lautenberg’s office, he is a great addition to the nonpartisan staff of our Committee.  We are glad to have him working closely with both sides of the Committee!
