                      TRIBUTE TO ROBERT M. GREELEY

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I rise to recognize the important work of 
Mr. Robert M. Greeley, who is retiring on November 15, 2013, after a 
long and distinguished career with the United States Capitol Police.
  Mr. Greeley joined the Capitol Police in June, 1996, as director of 
the Security Services Bureau, the most senior civilian security 
position in the department. Mr. Greeley's team is responsible for the 
development, operation, and maintenance of the physical and technical 
security systems needed to counter the threat of terrorism. In this 
capacity, Mr. Greeley led the management of the multimillion dollar 
enhancements to the Capitol Complex following the terrorist attacks of 
September 11, 2001. His expertise in the development and implementation 
of these security projects and systems was critical to the long- and 
short-term protection of the personnel and facilities of the 
legislative branch.
  Prior to joining the Capitol Police, Mr. Greeley spent 14 years as a 
security engineering officer with the U.S. Department of State's Office 
of Diplomatic Security and Foreign Missions. In that capacity, Mr. 
Greeley served overseas with regional responsibilities in Athens, 
Mexico City, and Prague.
  Mr. Greeley proudly served in the United States Air Force as a 
navigational aids equipment specialist from 1978-1982.
  As a former Capitol Police Officer, I appreciate the hard work and 
dedication of our nation's law enforcement officers, and I still feel a 
special bond with those who honor the badge by protecting and serving 
our communities. I, along with my colleagues in the Senate, 
congratulate Mr. Greeley on his well-earned retirement and wish him 
well in his future endeavors.
