                         Tuesday, July 20, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to pay tribute to Jim 
Caffray and thank him for his work as Archives Technician with the 
National Personnel Records Center (NPRC). His years of commitment and 
dedication as a public servant are certainly commendable and worthy of 
recognition before this body of Congress and this nation today. I, 
along with my fellow Americans am grateful for all that he has 
accomplished during his years of service.
  Jim Caffray served in the Navy during the Vietnam era and later 
continued his service to this nation when he became an Intermittent 
Archives Aid in June of 1992. He was hired full time in the civilian 
division of the NPRC in February of 1993. Jim was reassigned to 
Military Personnel Records in April of 1995. As an Archives Technician, 
Jim has served over 25,000 veterans by responding to requests for 
records. As an Expert Technician, Jim supports Archives Technicians on 
his team with his historical knowledge, while responding to the most 
complex inquiries received by the Center.
  During my tenure in the United States Congress, Jim provided 
exceptional service to constituents of the 3rd Congressional District 
of Colorado. Jim worked hard to ensure that inquiries on behalf of my 
constituents submitted to NPRC were addressed in a timely and thorough 
manner. Jim routinely demonstrated a willingness to assist beyond the 
standard response, showing a genuine concern for the constituent while 
upholding the policies of the National Personnel Records Center.
  Mr. Speaker, it is clear that Jim has been an invaluable resource to 
the National Personnel Records Center. It is my honor to recognize his 
service and dedication before this body of Congress and this nation. I 
am grateful for the opportunity to work with dedicated public servants 
like Jim Caffray. On behalf of the citizens that have benefited from 
the hard work and commitment he has given to the National Personnel 
Records Center and constituents it serves, I extend my appreciation for 
his years of dedicated service.
