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.
“REMEMBERING PAUL GLAAB OF ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Transportation was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H1324 on Feb. 27, 2017.
The Department handles nearly all infrastructure crisscrossing the country. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the Department should be privatized to save money, reduce congestion and spur innovation.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
REMEMBERING PAUL GLAAB OF ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
(Mrs. MIMI WALTERS of California asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Mrs. MIMI WALTERS of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of Paul Glaab who passed away on January 26.
Paul's career in public service began in the 1980s when he worked for the Republican caucus in the California State assembly on business, transportation, and housing issues. He continued to serve two California Governors in the State's Division of Codes and Standards and the Department of Transportation. He then served on the board of the Orange County Transportation Authority and later as the board's chair. Notably, he served two terms as Laguna Niguel's mayor.
Paul was a true public servant, and he will be missed by everyone in the Orange County community.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Janice, his daughter Molly, and the rest of his family. We join them in their mourning and hope that they will find comfort in knowing that Paul's legacy of leadership will live on for years to come.
