  Mr. CANTOR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor one of my 
constituents, Supervisory Special Agent Richard J. McCue. After 25 
years of distinguished and honorable service, he retires this month 
from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS).
  In addition to his service with the NCIS, Mr. McCue has also served 
his country as an officer in the United States Marine Corps. Since 
September 11th, Mr. McCue has volunteered for several dangerous 
overseas assignments, including being part of the first NCIS team in 
the nation to provide Protective Services support to Coalition 
Provisional Authority leadership in southern Iraq. During this tour, 
Mr. McCue conducted over one hundred missions in active combat zones, 
directly encountering both active fire and several Improvised Explosive 
Devices.
  Among numerous honors and achievements, Mr. McCue was requested by 
name to formalize the Surveillance Detection Mission for U.S. Forces 
within Kuwait, as well as forces transitioning to the Theater of 
Operations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. In addition, Mr. 
McCue volunteered to serve as a forensic expert on the investigative/
recovery team at the Pentagon after the September 11th attacks, 
providing both his expertise and compassionate care for the victims of 
that attack. In honor of this selfless service, Mr. McCue received the 
Department of the Navy Meritorious Civilian Service Medal as well as 
the Expeditionary Service Medal.
  Please join me in recognizing Richard McCue for his distinguished 
service to the people of the United States. We wish him well on his 
retirement.
