  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker. I rise today in honor and recognition of 
Robert Hawk--Vietnam War Veteran, public servant and protector of the 
citizens of Cleveland and beyond. Mr. Hawk's dedication and integrity 
throughout his career as a Special Agent with the Federal Government 
reflects a continuum of law enforcement excellence.
  Mr. Hawk grew up in Western Pennsylvania and graduated with a 
Bachelor of Arts Degree from Geneva College in Beaver Falls, PA. After 
graduation, Mr. Hawk served in the infantry with the U.S. Army's 
Cavalry Division in the capacity of Team Leader in charge of a 
Reconnaissance Team.
  In 1978, following his exemplary service to our country, Mr. Hawk 
began his service with the FBI as a Special Agent. His assignments 
included working out of the FBI's Cleveland and Detroit offices. For 
the next decade, Mr. Hawk garnered extensive experience on high-level 
assignments, including working in undercover capacities on narcotics 
and white-collar crime cases. Since 1989, Mr. Hawk has continued to 
serve with diligence and integrity as the Media Coordinator in the 
Cleveland FBI Office. Aside from media-related duties, Mr. Hawk is a 
Firearms Instructor, Defensive Tactics Instructor, and assists the 
Cleveland Organized Crime Squad on numerous cases.
  Mr. Speaker and Colleagues, please join me in honor, gratitude and 
recognition of Mr. Robert Hawk, friend, mentor and leader within the 
FBI organization. His significant work continues to strengthen the 
vital bonds between law enforcement and the greater community, and also 
serves to strengthen the fabric of safety for every citizen of 
Cleveland and well beyond.
