               TRIBUTE TO FBI SPECIAL AGENT DENNIS CONWAY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DENNIS MOORE

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 26, 2000

  Mr. MOORE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Federal Bureau 
of Investigation Special Agent Dennis Conway, who has served with 
distinction in the Bureau's Kansas City Division since 1989.
  Special Agent Conway will retire on December 31, 2000, concluding a 
career during which he was responsible for the successful 
investigation, arrest, and prosecution of over 200 criminals.
  From 1972-1976, Special Agent Conway was assigned to the FBI's 
Oklahoma City Division, where he investigated violent crimes. Then, 
from 1976-1983, he was Bank Robbery Coordinator in the Bureau's 
Minneapolis Division. From 1983-1989, Special Agent Conway was assigned 
to the FBI's Detroit Division, where he was case agent on an undercover 
illegal drug investigation which resulted in the conviction of a high 
profile drug distributor, who was convicted after a six week trial.
  From 1989 to the present, Special Agent Conway has been assigned to 
the Bureau's Kansas City Division. During that time, he served as case 
agent on undercover drug operation ``Plazop,'' which focused on sources 
of illegal drug supplies from Colombia, the Philippines, the Dominican 
Republic, Los Angeles and San Diego. This investigation resulted in 32 
criminal convictions which significantly reduced the quantity of 
illegal drugs on the streets of Kansas City, Kansas, and Missouri. For 
the past six years, Special Agent Conway has investigated illegal drug 
crimes and crimes of violence within the U.S. Penitentiary in 
Leavenworth, Kansas, where his efforts have resulted in over 60 
indictments.
  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have this opportunity to pay public 
tribute to my constituent, FBI Special Agent Dennis Conway, as he 
completes a distinguished career of service to the Kansas City 
community and our nation as a whole. The public at large and the law 
enforcement community are better for his efforts, and we wish him well 
as he concludes his career with the FBI.
