The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“TRIBUTE TO DAVID CAPP” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the Senate section on pages S2489-S2490 on April 24, 2017.
The Department is one of the oldest in the US, focused primarily on law enforcement and the federal prison system. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, detailed wasteful expenses such as $16 muffins at conferences and board meetings.

TRIBUTE TO DAVID CAPP
Mr. YOUNG. Mr. President, today I wish to honor the service of David Capp, who is retiring from the U.S. Department of Justice after 31 years of service. Let the record reflect how proud I am of Mr. Capp's service to fellow Hoosiers and our country.
After graduating from Valparaiso University School of Law in 1977, Mr. Capp served in the private sector for 8 years prior to joining the U.S. Attorney's Office in 1985. During his tenure, Mr. Capp served as interim U.S. attorney, as well as first assistant. On April 28, 2010, Mr. Capp was sworn in by Chief Judge Philip Simon as the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Indiana and has been serving in that capacity ever since.
Mr. Capp has undoubtedly left this office and community a better place. Mr. Capp's tireless commitment to his work helped alleviate gang-related violence and drug-related offenses. In addition, Mr. Capp's dedication to ending public corruption serves as an example for current and future district attorneys in Indiana.
Mr. Capp, on behalf of all Hoosiers, thank you again, for your service to our State and country.
