                            HON. TREY GOWDY

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 10, 2018

  Mr. GOWDY. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record the following 
Proclamation in honor of a friend and an exceptional Special Agent-in-
Charge at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. I 
want to recognize the career of Special Agent-in-Charge CJ Hyman, who 
retired in December after more than 30 years of distinguished service 
at the ATF.
   Whereas, Special Agent-in-Charge Hyman began his career with the ATF 
in 1987, as a Special Agent in Charlotte, North Carolina. There Special 
Agent Hyman played an integral role in the forming of the Charlotte 
Violent Crime Task Force, in which he investigated and prosecuted 
narcotics and firearms trafficking as well as robberies, kidnappings, 
and homicides. Special Agent Hyman would be selected to lead the task 
force for five years, during which time he supervised and led the 
investigation of Eric Rudolph after he bombed an abortion clinic in 
Birmingham, Alabama, in 1998.
   Whereas, over the course of 30 plus years, Special Agent-in-Charge 
Hyman served in numerous other leadership positions including as the 
Resident Agent-in-Charge in the Greenville, South Carolina Field Office 
for ten years and as the Special Agent-in-Charge of the Charlotte Field 
Division, encompassing both North and South Carolina. In each position 
that Special Agent-in-Charge Hyman has held throughout his career, he 
has provided outstanding leadership and integrity in his service to the 
Carolinas.
   Whereas, 31 December 2017, Special Agent-in-Charge Hyman officially 
retired from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, 
having faithfully served this great nation for more than 30 years. Be 
it
   Resolved, That I, Trey Gowdy, do congratulate Special Agent-in-
Charge CJ Hyman, his wife Leslie, their two children, Josh and Casey 
for their unwavering commitment and devotion to service of our great 
nation and thank them for their unwavering loyalty, dedication and 
contributions to the Carolinas and the Fourth Congressional District of 
South Carolina.
