  Mr. SESSIONS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Drug Enforcement 
Administration (DEA) Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) Michael 
D. Dromgoole.
  Prior to joining the DEA, Michael began his law enforcement career 
with the Texas Department of Public Safety as a Highway Patrol Trooper 
in 1973. In 1980, he began his DEA career as a Special Agent and 
completed assignments in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, California 
before coming to Texas. His work ethic and dedication led to multiple 
promotions and in October 1998, he was reassigned as an Assistant 
Special Agent in Charge in the Dallas Field Division. After twenty-
eight years of service with the DEA, Michael will be retiring this 
year.
  The Dallas area has greatly benefited from his vision and leadership. 
He foresaw a safer and better community and took every effort to do 
make this goal a reality. He helped enhance the cooperation between the 
DEA and local and state agencies, making attempts to combat drug 
trafficking and the enforcement of controlled substance laws more 
successful. Michael leaves a legacy of civic duty that will be greatly 
missed.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my esteemed colleagues to join me in expressing 
our deepest gratitude for his exemplary service to this great Nation.

                          ____________________
