I have always been very proud of my brother Doug and impressed with all his accomplishments. He is an incredibly smart, talented, funny, and articulate scholar, gentleman, and all-around great guy. Today, however, he made me even prouder!
I am very happy to report that effective immediately, Doug is taking a leave of absence from his faculty position with the University of Maryland to assume the position of Staff Director of the Congressional Executive Commission on China for the duration of the 110th Congress (ends January 2009). Combining all his considerable experience, my brother will be sitting on Capitol Hill helping to guide the country's efforts in the monitoring of human rights and development of the rule of law in China. There are nine Senators, nine members of the House of Representatives and five senior Administration officials who sit as commissioners.
I can't stop smiling . . . Just wait 'til Mom hears about it!
