  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Mrs. Helen S. Slagle of Saint Joseph, Missouri. Mrs. Slagle is retiring 
from Federal service after 36 years of loyal service.
   Helen Slagle entered into Federal service in 1977 and has never 
truly left. In 1977 Helen enlisted in the United State Marine Corps. 
After her honorable discharge in 1997 from the Marine Corps at the rank 
of Gunnery Sergeant; Helen was once again called into Federal service 
with the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
   Helen then transitioned to the private sector, working under 
contract for the Federal Government. In 2006, Helen began her final 
posting with the Federal government as a Special Agent with the United 
States Office of Personnel Management's Federal Investigative Services, 
Kansas City Office. During her time at O.P.M. Helen has directly 
supported the Federal, military and defense contractor assets located 
in Northwest Missouri. The investigations that Helen conducted have 
been for the proud military men and women who are serving their state 
and country.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Mrs. Helen 
S. Slagle. For the last 36 years Helen has dedicated herself to the 
United States of America through her unwavering Federal Service and I 
am honored to represent her in the United States Congress.
