  Mr. Cardin. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Cecil G. 
Christian, Jr., Assistant Commissioner of the Immigration and 
Naturalization Service [INS] Office of Records. Mr. Christian retired 
from the INS after 15 years overseeing and managing the INS' records 
activities. He left his position as the Records Officer on September 
29, 1995. In 1990, he received the Commissioner's Award for Promoting 
Equal Employment Opportunity.
  Before joining the INS, Cecil Christian was employed at the National 
Archives and Records Administration. There, he worked in the Office of 
Records as Management Analyst and Branch Analyst.
  Prior to his time at the National Archives and Records 
Administration, Mr. Christian served his country with distinction for 
20 years as an Army aviator, staff officer and commander. He served in 
Europe, the Middle East, and Vietnam earning the Legion of Merit, 
Bronze star, Air Medals, Meritorious Service Medal and Army 
Commendation Medal.
  Cecil G. Christian, Jr. has given 42 years of honorable service to 
our country. It is with pride and pleasure that I commend him for the 
good work he performed and his sustained commitment.
