                             HON. MIKE WARD

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, December 18, 1995

  Mr. WARD. Mr. Speaker, I am taking this opportunity to acknowledge 
publicly an outstanding Kentuckian, Mr. David F. Ray. Next month, David 
will retire from the U.S. Secret Service after 31 years of 
distinguished service.
  David ends his sterling career as the special agent in charge for the 
Louisville, Kentucky field office of the Secret Service. Previous 
assignments took David and his family to Charlotte, NC and the District 
of Columbia.
  Conducting advance security arrangements for President Reagan's visit 
to the Peoples Republic of China and for his meeting with Soviet Union 
President Gorbachev was a hallmark of David's stint in Washington. 
During his tenure in Louisville, the Secret Service was responsible for 
numerous arrests involving fraud, forgery, and embezzlement. And, in 
1992, David served as the principal security coordinator for visits to 
Kentucky by President Bush, Vice President Quayle, Presidential 
candidate Clinton, and Vice Presidential candidate Gore.
  Mr. Speaker, Special Agent In Charge David F. Ray has devoted himself 
for 31 years to the service of his country as a member of the law 
enforcement community. It is with much pride that I extend my 
congratulations and best wishes to him and his family for a well-
deserved retirement.
