                      Thursday, September 29, 1994

  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to rise today on 
behalf of Special Agent Philip G. Reilly who is retiring after a long 
and distinguished career with the U.S. Department of Justice's Federal 
Bureau of Investigation.
  Philip G. Reilly was born and raised in Rhode Island and graduated 
from LaSalle Academy and Providence College. Upon graduation, he 
enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and left the corps as a first 
lieutenant after 3 years of exemplary military service. After 
completing his military obligation, Special Agent Philip Reilly was 
selected for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in February 1964 and 
was initially sent to the Kansas City Division. Subsequent division 
assignments were in Savannah, GA and New York City. In March 1976, 
Special Agent Reilly was assigned to the Boston Division/Providence 
Resident Agency.
  Over the course of his public service career, Special Agent Philip 
Reilly received numerous letters of commendation recognizing his 
professional and outstanding conduct in performance of his duties. He 
has been involved in many investigations spanning a wide range of cases 
and is well respected by his peers in law enforcement. The people of 
Rhode Island have been well-served by his devotion to duty, 
professionalism, and many years of service to our country and I am 
proud to honor him on the occasion of his retirement after three 
decades of service.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of my home State of Rhode Island, I would 
respectfully ask my fellow colleagues to join me in honoring an 
outstanding member of the F.B.I. from my district, Special Agent Philip 
G. Reilly.
