[[Page E519]]

Scipione in recognition of his retirement from the U.S. Attorney's 
Office for the Northern District of New York after more than 40 years 
in public service, as the USAO NDNY Law Enforcement Coordination 
Manager. Mr. Scipione has demonstrated a profound commitment to his 
community and country during his long career in law enforcement and 
service in the U.S. Air Force and New York Air National Guard.
  A graduate of East Syracuse-Minoa High School and Onondaga Community 
College, Mr. Scipione began his career in law enforcement in 1980 as a 
police officer for the Town of DeWitt Police Department. He 
subsequently went on to serve as an Investigator for the Onondaga 
County District Attorney's Office, where he prepared cases for over 100 
homicide trials. In 2004, he was hired by the U.S. Attorney's Office 
for the Northern District of New York as the Law Enforcement 
Coordination Manager. Mr. Scipione served in this role for 16 years, 
working to facilitate and support law enforcement efforts to increase 
safety and enhance the quality of life for our community.
  In addition to his service in law enforcement, Mr. Scipione served 
his country in the U.S. Air Force and in the New York Air National 
Guard. During this time, he was deployed overseas on several occasions, 
and notably, supported efforts in Kuwait during Operation Desert 
Shield.
  Outside of public service, Mr. Scipione is a devoted husband to his 
wife, Cindy, and a dedicated father to their three children. He is a 
proud grandfather to four grandchildren and dog owner to his German 
Shepherd, Amish.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the House to join me in 
recognizing Mr. Armond ``Skip'' Scipione. As a dedicated public 
servant, I wish Mr. Scipione the best in his retirement.
