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

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.
