                     NOMINATION OF RAYMOND W. KELLY

  Mr. D'AMATO. Mr. President, today this body formally approved the 
nomination of Raymond W. Kelly, of New York, to be Commissioner of 
Customs. I am deeply, deeply pleased and believe that we have a Customs 
Commissioner of whom we can be proud, who will do the kind of 
outstanding work that Ray Kelly has done over the years in law 
enforcement.
  He is a native New Yorker. He spent quite a bit of his time as a 
young man in the village of Island Park, where I live and grew up. So 
it is a great pleasure to see him come to this highly regarded 
position. I know he is going to be an outstanding Commissioner, and I 
look forward to working with him.
