                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 3, 2005

  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today 
to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to Special Agent Michael 
Wolf who has served the Federal Bureau of Investigation for over 30 
years. Just last month we learned that Special Agent Wolf would be 
leaving the New Haven Field Office to a new position at the Washington 
Headquarters. It was with great excitement that we heard Special Agent 
Wolf had been selected by FBI Director Robert Mueller, III to serve as 
Special Agent in Charge of the Critical Incident Response Group.
  Throughout his career, Special Agent Wolf has demonstrated a unique 
commitment to public service and has dedicated a lifetime to ensuring 
the safety and security of our communities and our Nation. He has 
exhibited a deep commitment to public safety not only in joining the 
Federal Bureau of Investigation, but in successfully combating crime in 
a myriad of forms.
  Joining the Bureau in 1973 as a physical science technician, Agent 
Wolf was soon appointed to the position of Special Agent. His first 
assignment took him to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where he worked on 
applicant, white collar crime, organized crime, and narcotics matters. 
Just 5 years later, Agent Wolf was selected as a member of the Bureau's 
Hostage Rescue Team where he served for 3 years until his promotion to 
FBIHQ Supervisor, responsible for domestic terrorism matters. 
Transferred to the New Haven Field Office as a Field Supervisor, Agent 
Wolf headed the Crime/Drug Squad in Connecticut and supervised the 
successful development of a case against organized crime. He then went 
on to be promoted to the position of Inspector which brought him back 
to FBI headquarters.
  For the last 6 years, Agent Wolf has served as Special Agent in 
Charge of the FBI in Connecticut. I am so pleased to have this 
opportunity to express my deepest thanks and appreciation to Special 
Agent Wolf for his gracious assistance to both myself and my staff 
during his tenure in New Haven. His door has always been open to us, 
always available to answer our questions or assist in any way that he 
could. It gives me piece of mind to know that Special Agent Wolf will 
be next serving as the Special Agent in Charge of the Critical Incident 
Response Group. Through the myriad of positions he has held and variety 
of responsibilities he has been charged with, Agent Wolf has developed 
a distinguished reputation and an impressive resume. With his 
knowledge, expertise, and strong work ethic, I have no doubt that this 
new division of the Bureau will be successful in their mission.
  For his invaluable service and continued commitment to public 
service, I am proud to stand today to pay tribute to Special Agent 
Michael Wolf. I extend my very best wishes to Agent Wolf; his wife, 
Francine; and his daughters, Danielle and Lindsay as he accepts this 
new post in Washington, DC. I have no doubt that he will excel in this 
position and work diligently to ensure the safety and security of our 
communities and our Nation. Good Luck and God Bless.
