  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Robert E. 
Casey, Jr., the Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation's Dallas Field Office. Mr. Casey is retiring from the FBI 
on April 30, 2012.
  Upon graduation from Indiana State University, Mr. Casey joined the 
Houston Police Department in 1981. During his tenure, he served as a 
patrol officer and an investigator on the organized crime squad and 
earned the prestigious ``Police Officer of the Year'' Award in 1983. In 
September 1986, he joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as 
a Special Agent in the Phoenix Field Office and began working on 
organized crime and drug investigations. Throughout his tenure with the 
FBI, Mr. Casey served in a variety of offices including Washington, 
D.C., Chicago, Miami, and Dallas. Due to his exemplary service, he was 
promoted to the ranks of Senior Executive Service and was the recipient 
of the prestigious 2006 Presidential Rank Award for Meritorious 
Executive.
  I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Mr. Casey. He is 
a principled man with a keen sense of civic duty. He has dedicated his 
life to public service and proven to be a great leader and a true 
patriot. Our Nation is a better and safer place because of individuals 
like him.
  As he retires from the FBI, I know Mr. Casey will be delighted to 
spend more time with his wife, Leslie, and their two children, Gayle 
and Drew, who have faithfully supported him throughout his career. Mr. 
Speaker, I ask my esteemed colleagues to join me in congratulating Mr. 
Casey on twenty-six years of dedicated service to the FBI and this 
great Nation. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors. May God 
bless him and his family.
