                      Tuesday, September 26, 2006

  Mr. UPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the 
illustrious career of Mr. Roy Johnson, who is retiring from the Federal 
Bureau of Investigations after serving 23 years with great distinction. 
Mr. Johnson first came to our corner of Michigan in 1985 when he was 
assigned to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Detroit Division in 
St. Joseph, Michigan. During his initial years of service, he was 
responsible for a wide range of investigative duties ranging from 
abductions and bank fraud-embezzlements to homicide and Presidential 
appointment research.
  In 1986, Special Agent Johnson was appointed to manage, direct, and 
coordinate participation throughout Michigan with the National Center 
for the Analysis of Violent Crime. This unit has received worldwide 
praise for its excellence in crime scene assessment/profiling and 
threat analysis. Special Agent Johnson's vision has extended beyond his 
assigned duties and I commend him for establishing multiagency 
partnerships which have allowed for various resources to be shared 
during complex investigations.
  Roy has continually gone above the call of duty and acted for the 
betterment of our community. He has taught numerous law enforcement 
programs and lectured to public and civic organizations throughout the 
state of Michigan.
  Johnson's knowledge and professionalism have led others to call on 
him to testify before Federal and State courts, Federal Grand Juries, 
and Congressional committees. Moreover, he has received various 
Congressional, regional, and departmental awards for his investigations 
and service.
  I am proud to call Roy Johnson a friend and thank him for his many 
years of selfless service. His contributions to law enforcement have 
made community and great national a safer place. We are all better off 
for Roy's distinguished career in the FBI.
