  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the exceptional 
career and the dedicated service of Timothy Joseph Walker.
  Timothy began his career in 1987, initially serving as a United 
States Air Force Explosives and Narcotics Detection K9 Officer with the 
Department of Defense. Transitioning to the United States Department of 
Agriculture in 1991, he continued his service as a K9 Officer at Newark 
International Airport and JFK International Airport. Following his 
tenure there until 1995, he spent the next year working with the 
Federal Bureau of Prisons as Correctional Officer and Special Response 
Team member in Ray Brook, New York.
  In 1996, Timothy began his career with United States Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP), starting as a U.S. Customs Officer with the 
Department of Treasury at the Port of Alexandria Bay, New York. In 
2003, he began his time with the Department of Homeland Security as a 
CBP officer and remained in Alexandria Bay until being promoted to 
Supervisory Customs and Border Protection Officer and moved to 
Ogdensburg, New York. During this time, he was responsible for front 
line management of daily operations. Continuing to display his 
leadership acumen, Timothy was promoted to Assistant Area Port Director 
Trade stationed in Alexandria Bay. In 2010, Timothy assumed the pivotal 
role of Port Director in Ogdensburg, serving an admirable three years 
before returning to Alexandria Bay and becoming Area Port Director, a 
position he has held since 2013. Presently, Timothy oversees the 
management of 226 Customs Border Protection employees.
  Timothy's 36 years of employment with the United States is a 
testament to his unwavering commitment to our Nation. On behalf of New 
York's 21st Congressional District, I am deeply honored to acknowledge 
Timothy Walker's extraordinary career, tireless efforts, and steadfast 
devotion to the United States.
