                       TRIBUTE TO THE FBI AND CIA

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL G. OXLEY

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 25, 1997

  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I wish to commend the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency for the apprehension 
of a suspect in the murder of two CIA employees and the wounding of 
three other individuals near Langley 4 years ago.
  According to reports, FBI agents took the confessed killer into 
custody in a covert operation near the Afghan-Pakistani border with 
intelligence support from the CIA, ending a 4-year international 
manhunt. The dawn raid was executed without incident.
  This case demonstrates the vital importance of maintaining a strong 
U.S. intelligence community. It also reminds us of the value of 
perseverance in the pursuit of justice.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud of the work done by the FBI and the CIA last 
week. All America thanks them.
