"I join in thanking Joe Novotny for his many years of service to the House of Representatives and to the American people, and I congratulate Bowie resident Tylease Alli on being selected to be the next Reading Clerk. I am proud that a Prince Georgian will now be the voice of the House, heard by millions of Americans on C-SPAN as she plays a critical role in House procedure. For years, Members on the Education and Labor Committee have gotten to know Tylease well, relying on her to ensure that the important business of that committee can proceed smoothly as it works to bring opportunity to American students, teachers, workers, and communities. I look forward to welcoming her to the House Floor."
