RETIREMENT OF KURT HYDE, THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS INSPECTOR GENERAL
______
HON. ZOE LOFGREN
of california
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, August 31, 2021
Ms. LOFGREN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank Kurt Hyde for his many years of dedicated service to the Library on the occasion of his retirement. Mr. Hyde was invaluable in setting the Library on a path of modernization and performance-driven strategy.
Mr. Hyde has had a long and illustrious career in the public, nonprofit and private sectors, in positions devoted to the public interest. Prior to serving as the Library's Inspector General, he was the deputy inspector general for audit and evaluations at the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, a sophisticated, white collar law enforcement agency established to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse in the $700 billion program.
Similarly, he served as the deputy assistant inspector general for the Resolution Trust Corporation during the savings and loan financial crisis in the 1990s. Other government service included work at the Government Accountability Office and as a senior executive at the Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General. In the private sector, Mr. Hyde was a partner in the government services practice at big 5 accounting and consulting firm. He also consulted to a non-profit whose mission was to develop transformational leaders for primary and secondary schools.
Although we will miss Mr. Hyde's hard work and dedication to the Library, we wish him well as he embarks upon his well-deserved retirement. Please join me in thanking Mr. Hyde for his years of outstanding service.
