                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 20, 2014

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride and 
pleasure that I rise today to recognize the outstanding service of Mr. 
Lynn Cook on the occasion of his retirement after nearly 40 years of 
Federal service.
   Mr. Cook began his career as an investigator for the personnel 
security program of the Civil Service Commission, now the U.S. Office 
of Personnel Management, in 1974. In the nearly 40 years that have 
passed since then, he has worked tirelessly to conduct investigations 
that support national security. In his position as a Special Agent with 
the Office of Personnel Management, he conducted background 
investigations that have directly supported Federal, military, and 
defense contractor assets in the Kansas City Metro and Northwest 
Missouri areas. A large number of these investigations have been for 
military men and women who are nobly serving their country.
   Lynn's lifetime dedication and hard work should serve as an example 
of how we can better serve each other and our great nation.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join with me in commending Mr. 
Lynn Cook for his dedicated service to our national security. I know 
Lynn's colleagues, family and friends join with me in thanking him for 
his commitment to others and wishing him happiness and good health in 
his retirement.
