                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 6, 2001

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize FBI 
Special Agent in Charge Van A. Harp of Cleveland for his promotion to 
the Washington Field Office as Assistant Director.
  Born May 29, 1945 in Toledo Ohio, Van A. Harp has had a long and 
distinguished record with the FBI. Upon graduation from the University 
of Toledo, Harp served as a Special Agent and was soon assigned to the 
Little Rock, Arkansas Office on January 5, 1970. His achievements and 
hard-work were noticed, for he soon was transferred to Texarkana, 
Arkansas, and then again to Detroit, Michigan. He served in Lansing, 
Michigan in February 1972 until he received an assignment as an SSRA to 
the Charleston, West Virginia, RA of the Pittsburgh Division.
  His distinguished service continued with posts at the FBI 
Headquarters in Washington, D.C. and then again in Buffalo, New York 
where he served as the Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Field 
Division.
  In December 1995, Mr. Harp was relocated to Cleveland where he was 
promoted to the Special Agent in Charge of the Field Office. It was 
indeed an honor to have Mr. Harp serve in the Cleveland area and his 
services, time, and dedication will truly be missed. We are all very 
proud of his promotion to the Washington Field Office.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you join me in recognition for the outstanding 
effort and service of Mr. Van A. Harp and wish him luck in his new 
promoted position.
