                      TRIBUTE TO TIMOTHY J. GOODE

  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. President, I wish to recognize Timothy J. Goode on 
the occasion of his retirement as Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal for the 
Southern District of West Virginia. Chief Deputy Goode is stepping down 
after a long career of accomplishment and service to his country and to 
West Virginia.
  Since he came to West Virginia, my staff and I have had the pleasure 
of working with Chief Deputy Goode and his colleagues in the Southern 
District office. He has been a consistent advocate for the U.S. 
Marshals Service and served as a valuable liaison between the Service 
and my office. Before he came to West Virginia, he had already accrued 
a number of accomplishments in a storied career.
  Chief Deputy Goode received his bachelor's degree from Indiana State 
University in 1983, entering the U.S. Marshals Service as a deputy in 
1986. Over the next three decades, he served as a mentor to numerous 
deputies, coordinated and led operations that resulted in the arrest of 
dangerous criminals, and served in various administrative and 
informational capacities, including two stints as Acting U.S. Marshal. 
Among his many approbations was a special recognition by the Indiana 
General Assembly in 1990 for his role in the arrest and extradition of 
General Manuel Noriega.
  In addition to his long record of service, Chief Deputy Goode serves 
as a Sunday school teacher and holds a master's degree in Christian 
Ministry. An outdoorsman, he is also an avid hunter and fisher. 
Finally, and most importantly, he is a devoted husband to his wife, 
Kyle.
  Exemplary public service should be praised, and we all owe a debt of 
gratitude to Chief Deputy Goode for his service. I wish him well in 
retirement and in his future endeavors. It is an honor to call him a 
friend and fellow West Virginian.
