  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend William Thompson of 
his service to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and to 
congratulate him on his upcoming retirement.
  Mr. Thompson began his career in 1971 with the U.S. Marine Corps 
after his service with the Marine Corps in 1975. He returned to college 
and became a co-op student with the Social Security Administration in 
1977 and stayed until 1980. He worked for the State of West Virginia 
for 18 months before going to work for the U.S. Defense Investigative 
Service in 1982 and subsequently became what is known today as U.S. 
Office of Personnel Management. Mr. Thompson's role has been Special 
Agent in charge of conducting Federal Security Clearance 
Investigations.
  For his dedication of 37 years, I offer Mr. Thompson my most sincere 
congratulations and best wishes for a well-deserved retirement.
