                           HON. HENRY CUELLAR

                        Friday, August 18, 2017

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the retirement 
of Supervisory Special Agent John ``Jack'' Morris, a Unit Chief with 
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations 
(HSI), who has proudly served the people of the United States in 
federal law enforcement for over twenty-nine years.
  On August 8, 1988, after graduating from The New York State 
University College at Oneonta, Jack began a 29-year career with the 
legacy Immigration and Naturalization Service, and later HSI. As a 
Special Agent in New York City from 1988 until 2004, Jack earned the 
New York Law Enforcement Investigator of the Year Award in 2001 and the 
U.S. Attorney's Director's Award in 2002. In 2004, Jack was promoted to 
the position of Supervisory Special Agent in Newark, New Jersey, where 
he worked with distinction until accepting a position in 2010 at HSI 
Headquarters in Washington, DC.
  Since moving to Washington, Jack has served in various HSI positions, 
including Program Manager, Section Chief, Special Assistant to the 
Director, and Chief of the Public Safety Unit. He was also a 
Congressional Detailee in my office where he worked on a variety of 
issues, including Immigration, Homeland Security, border issues, and 
constituent requests.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to have the opportunity to recognize and 
honor Jack Morris for his many years of service to the United States of 
America.
