HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 1

A House resolution congratulating and honoring Edward A. Burdick on his retirement after 62 years of distinguished service to the Minnesota House of Representatives.

Whereas, on February 15, 1941, at a time when Franklin D. Roosevelt was President of the United States, Harold E.

Whereas, in 1943, Ed became Head Page and then worked in the Chief Clerk's Office in 1945 before beginning his long and legendary tenure at the House Desk in 1947, where he has labored every session since, with the exception of one session when he was in the military service; and

Whereas, Ed became the first full-time legislative employee in 1955, was elected Chief Clerk in 1967, and has been unanimously re-elected every session since; and

Whereas, Ed's extensive knowledge of the legislative process and legislative procedure and his expertise on particular subjects such as germaneness, points of order, appeals, parliamentary inquiries, the previous question, and points of personal privilege enabled him to serve as teacher, mentor, and trusted friend to 16 different Speakers as well as over 1,000 legislators, and has allowed the Minnesota House to conduct its business in an orderly manner during some very tough and stressful times; and

Journal of the House - 3rd Day - Monday, January 10, 2005 - Top of Page 63

Whereas, Ed has processed over 80,953 bill introductions and has seen 23,268 new laws passed; and

Whereas, Ed has been nationally recognized as a leading expert on parliamentary procedure, and has received numerous awards from his peers around the country; and

Whereas, in 1971 Ed was elected President of the American Society of Legislative Clerks and Secretaries (ASLCS) and has also served on the Executive Committee of the National Conference of State Legislatures; in 1983 was selected by ASLCS as the first recipient of the prestigious "Joseph A. Beck Distinguished Service Award"; in 1985 was honored with the "Lloyd M. Short Merit Award" for distinguished service in public affairs by the Minnesota Chapter of the American Society for Public Administration; and was presented by ASLCS with the "2002 Legislative Staff Achievement Award" for his long and distinguished service with the Minnesota House of Representatives and his active national participation; and

Whereas, Ed has consistently upheld the highest standards of nonpartisan professionalism in the Office of the Chief Clerk and has maintained and protected the integrity of the Minnesota House of Representatives; and

Whereas, Edward A. Burdick retired on Monday, January 3, 2005, after 62 years of service; Now, Therefore,

Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Minnesota that it extends to Edward A. Burdick its deepest thanks and heartfelt appreciation for his many, many years of valuable service and unsurpassed dedication and loyalty to the Minnesota Legislature and to the citizens of the State of Minnesota.

Be It Further Resolved that the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives is directed to prepare an enrolled copy of this resolution, to be authenticated by his signature and that of the Speaker of the House and transmit it to Edward A. Burdick.
