Mr. HILL

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize the life of a teacher who continues to have an indelible impact on Arkansas, Margie Towery, who is this year's Greenbrier School District Teacher of the Year. Margie has dedicated her life to serving and educating Arkansas' youth. This is her 26th year of teaching, including seven at the nearby University of Central Arkansas. Margie is a big advocate for STEM education, particularly for young girls, and even takes her students to local universities to participate in their STEM activities. She started and led the Rhetoric Society at the high school until she became a full-time sponsor of the student council. Teachers like Margie prove that education is one of the best investments that America can make. I am proud to represent her and all the teachers of central Arkansas who are making a difference for our youth. Arnold Hameister Retirement

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize my friend, Tamika Edwards, who has just been named executive director of the Social Justice Institute at Philander Smith College. Tamika has served her State and her country tirelessly throughout her whole career from her work as a former aide to U.S. Senator Blanche Lincoln, to her role as the Director of Governmental Affairs for Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. A native of our hometown, Little Rock, Ms. Edwards is a graduate of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff and a two-time alumna of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, most recently in 2012 with her law degree. Ms. Edwards' passion for ensuring all voices are heard will serve her well as she oversees the Social Justice Institute's crucial work of educating students and the community in advocating for equal opportunity, treatment, and respect. So, again, I would like to congratulate Ms. Edwards on her new position of leadership, and I look forward to working with her. Recognizing Neomi Rao

Mr. HILL

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, this Labor Day week, I recognize the achievements of a young woman from Arkansas, Ms. Sierra Holley. Ms. Holley is a student at the Conway Area Career Center and recently completed the SkillsUSA Championships, where she received a Skill Point Certificate in welding sculpture. Sierra won the gold in our State's SkillsUSA Leadership Conference and received a travel scholarship from the MikeRoweWORKS Foundation to attend the national competition. SkillsUSA's programs are integrated into career and technical education through a framework of personal, workplace, and technical skills grounded in academics. More than 6,300 students from every State in the Union completed this year's championships, and Arkansas is so proud of Sierra's accomplishments. SkillsUSA Championship events are a great way for middle, high school, and college students to immerse in the field of a skilled workforce. Conway Area Career Center is located at Conway High School. I congratulate Sierra for her great achievement and that of her teachers at the Conway Area Career Center.

Mr. HILL

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the efforts of Crystal Certain, an art teacher at Conway High School, who is committed to making a difference in central Arkansas. Crystal partnered with the Community Action Program of Central Arkansas to provide food to hungry children in our community. She started by funding the project out of her own pocket and the practice grew into a classroom food-pantry project. Her students named it the ``Certain Little Free Class Pantry''. Nearly 400 children at her school get nourishing food from her pantry project. The Community Action Program of Central Arkansas is providing meals during the summer months and is operating the project from inside the agency's pantry. In addition to providing meals, Crystal also provides students with healthy recipes that they can prepare for themselves. I am proud to represent her and all of the teachers of central Arkansas who are making a difference in the lives of our young people.

Mr. HILL

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the 19 Central Arkansas Veterans Affairs Healthcare System nurses who have been named to the Great 100 Nurses Celebration of Arkansas 2018 honoree list. The selected nurses are chosen based on their concern for humanity, their contributions to the profession of Nursing, and their mentoring of others. Each of the Great 100 nurses will receive a certificate and custom pin in honor of their accomplishment. This is a record number of honorees from the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System and I greatly applaud their work and their caring nature towards our veterans. I am proud to represent these and all of our central Arkansas nurses who are making a difference in the lives of our veterans. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record the name of each selected nurse. The 19 CAVHS nurses are: Jackie Archer, RN; Jill Avery, APRN; Shelly Berry, RN; Matthew Bishop, RN; Lana Brown, RN; Pamela Cochran, RN; Kimberly Crutchfield, RN; Brandi Gause, RN; David Hathcock, II, RN; Shauna Haynes, RN; Pamela Horton, APN; Connie Jordan, RN; Meredith Morton, RN; Dara Penn, RN; Danielle Shelby, RN; Courtney Steele, RN; Amada White, RN; Sarah Wilson, RN; Salena Wright-Brown, Ph.D., MNSc, APRN, RN.

Mr. HILL

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a great Arkansan and one of the pillars of collegiate athletics in Arkansas--Coach Greg Harnden. Coach Harnden is retiring after 21 years as the Athletic Director of Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas. He helped facilitate Harding's move from the NAIA to the NCAA as well as Harding's move from the Gulf South Conference to its current home in the Great American Conference. Throughout his 21-year career, Coach Harnden has brought numerous championships to Central Arkansas and attracted top talent to our state, making Harding University one of the top programs in all of NCAA Division II (two). His impact has transcended the playing field as he has touched the lives of thousands of student-athletes from around the world. I congratulate Coach Harnden on an incredible career and wish him the best in his future endeavors.

Mr. HILL

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the University of Arkansas-Little Rock's new bike-sharing program and to emphasize its leading example of advocacy for active lifestyles. I appreciate the efforts of Jim Carr, Chair for the University's Committee on Sustainability, who lead the initiative to bring the bike share program to the Little Rock campus. This program has provided students, faculty, staff, and visitors a convenient and healthy way to get around campus. Nearly 200 bright-orange bikes have been delivered to UA-Little Rock and have been placed near high-traffic areas, such as dormitories and Ottenheimer Library. As a long-time biker, I am pleased to see the campus work to provide an alternative and convenient transportation option to relieve congestion and promote a healthier campus. As a former board member of Bicycles Advocacy of Central Arkansas, I am glad to see UA-Little Rock's bike-sharing program as one more step on the path to a more vibrant, healthy, and bike-friendly community.

Mr. HILL

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Vietnam War Veteran Joseph R. Gilliam. Mr. Gilliam served in the U.S. Army from 1968 to 1969, and saw action in the Tay-Ming Province of Vietnam. There he served as an Armored Track Commander and as the Second Section Sergeant with the 25th Infantry Division. Mr. Gilliam earned a number of distinctions while serving, including a Bronze Star Medal for Meritorious Service and a Purple Heart for injuries sustained when his Armored Personnel Carrier struck an Improvised Explosive Device. We as a Nation owe Mr. Gilliam a great debt of gratitude for his service and sacrifice. It is brave men and women like him that enable us to rest easily at night. I'm honored to present Joseph R. Gilliam replacement medals for his service in Vietnam and for his sacrifice to our nation.

Mr. HILL

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Korean War Veteran Guy E. Carr. Mr. Carr served in the U.S. Air Force from December 27, 1950 until November 3, 1953. Mr. Carr was trained as a Senior Turret Systems Mechanic and Gunner, but upon arriving in Kunson, Korea he was retrained to be a flight systems engineer as they did not have a need for gunners. He nonchalantly likes to state ``we only crashed once''while in Korea. Mr. Carr flew 54 combat mission while serving in Korea, and earned the Distinguished Flying Cross, two Air Medals, the United Nations Korean Service Medal, and the Korean Service Medal. Mr. Carr truly exemplifies the Warrior Spirit that has seen our Nation through trying times. I'm honored to present Guy E. Carr replacement medals for his service in Korea and for his sacrifice to our nation.

Mr. HILL

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate my good friend, R.D. Kinsey, on becoming the first African American to be elected as commander of the American Legion Department of Arkansas. Kinsey is a Vietnam-era veteran of the Air Force and a retired Federal civil service employee. He is the founding member of American Legion Post 74 and has been the post commander every year since that founding in 2004. He decided to step down this spring to seek the State commander's position. He previously served as the vice chairman of the National Legislative Council of Arkansas and held numerous appointments on the National Legislative Commission. He is a member of the City of Sherwood Civil Service Commission and is the founding president of the Sherwood Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association. I am proud of my friend, Commander R.D. Kinsey, who has proven his devotion to community and our State and veterans. He will be a great leader for Arkansas' American Legion.

Mr. HILL

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an outstanding leader who has transformed the realm of nonprofits in Arkansas, Pat Downs of the United Way of White County. Pat retired earlier this year as the executive director of the organization after 29 years of service. Her selflessness, passion, and work ethic inspire all who collaborate with her in White County, around the community, and in the workplace. Helping raise more than $11 million for associated agencies, Pat's decades of leadership had an indelible impact on central Arkansas. I thank Pat for her outstanding service to the United Way and send best wishes for her future endeavors.

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, America is better off. America is better off because U.S. crude exports have more than doubled since January 2017, and production is up 12 percent so far this year alone. Since Congress lifted the 40-year ban on oil exports in 2015, U.S. producers now export between 1.5 and 2 million barrels of crude every day. Lifting the ban has filled pipelines and sparked a surge of investment in new technology and shipping infrastructure around the United States. Today, U.S. crude imports have dropped 7.5 million barrels per day, as we rely on that increased domestic production and our friends in Canada. Lifting the ban has allowed us to be in competition with the two highest producing crude oil countries in the world, Saudi Arabia and Russia. According to the International Energy Agency, this year, the United States is expected to surpass Saudi Arabia and rival Russia as the world's leading producer of crude oil. This comes as Germany is working with Russia on a pipeline that will deliver more than 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas from Russia to Germany. During the recent NATO summit in Brussels, President Trump was right to strategically question Germany's further reliance on Russia's natural gas. Our liquefied natural gas and oil delivered to the Adriatic, North Sea, and Baltic seaports offer our allies in Europe strategic diversification both from OPEC and from Russian dominance for our friends in Western and Central Europe, their consumers, and their industries. Mr. Speaker, America is better off. I commend President Trump for raising this important issue on his recent trip to Europe, and I am proud of our work in Congress to enhance America's global energy leadership. Recognizing Dr. Dan Tullos

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a good friend and a key figure in education and communication sciences in Arkansas, Dr. Dan Tullos. Dr. Tullos recently retired from Harding University, where he served since 1979 as a professor, program director, and chair of the Communication Sciences and Disorders Department. Under his guidance, the communication sciences and disorders program has grown from a major offered under the oversight of the Department of Communication to a separate department with two undergraduate majors and a graduate program. Throughout his career, Dan has been honored by his colleagues, students, and industry leaders with well-deserved recognition and awards. Most notably, he was the 2015 recipient of the Frank R. Kleffner award, which recognizes an individual's outstanding contributions to communications. For his devotion to youth development, education, scouting, and a better world that has improved the lives of countless individuals across Arkansas and the globe, I congratulate Dr. Tullos on his great career and his retirement. Honoring Pat Downs

Mr. HILL

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, on March 7, 2017, I was sick and not present to vote. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 128.

Mr. HILL

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, a hardy congratulations to Chairman Hensarling and the ranking member for this exceptional package, the JOBS and Investor Confidence Act. I support it, and I urge my colleagues to support it as well. This important bill includes H.R. 1585, a bill that I worked on with my friends from Arizona, Ms. Sinema and Mr. Schweikert, and a bill also supported and helped by Mrs. Maloney of New York. I would like to highlight title IV. This bill expands the accredited investor definition by recognizing the ability to participate in a private offering should not be based solely on an asset or an income test, but that individuals who have the sophistication should also be able to participate. I have spent much of my career helping small companies obtain funding, helping them do private placements under regulation D. This has been a long time in coming. It is a matter of basic fairness, which will provide greater investment opportunities for more Americans and help our businesses grow and invest their capital faster. I encourage all my colleagues to support this good measure.

Mr. HILL

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 331.

Mr. HILL

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend from Ohio. He is a valued member of the House Financial Services Committee, and his decades of work in private business and in manufacturing is ideal for this discussion. He knows about intermediate goods manufacturing and how a lot of those parts are made domestically, but some parts, critical parts, might be made abroad. Nonetheless, they allow us to create a competitive manufactured good here in the United States, employ Americans, and then potentially sell that domestically or export it to, yet again, another country. I appreciate his manufacturing expertise. We are also joined tonight by my friend from Illinois, a distinguished member of the House Ways and Means Committee, Darin LaHood, who comes from America's heartland of agriculture and can speak to the issue of how do we achieve this outcome that we want: more open markets, fairer and reciprocal trade, but how do we do that in a way that minimizes the impact on American consumers and our agricultural producers. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. LaHood), my friend.

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend, Mr. LaHood from Illinois, for his expertise in agriculture and these markets. I think it is very important to have his example. I might react by saying the gentleman was talking about the power of working together. I was reflecting that if we were working together to leverage the challenges of China, we are about 15 percent of two-way trade with China. The European Union is about 15 percent or so of trade with China. Japan is another seven. Clearly working together on some of these issues that we have in common would give us more leverage. Let me just outline four key objectives I think of U.S. trade policy with China that I believe would be shared by those two other groups that I mentioned, the European Union and Japan. Ensure China fully complies with its obligations as a member of the WTO, including the beneficial agreements on government procurement, information technology, environmental goods agreement, and a trade and services agreement. These are things, Mr. Speaker, that we have worked on bilaterally and multilaterally since China entered the WTO in 2001, an admission I think now that many people question, was China really ready to join the World Trade Organization in 2001? That is number one. Number two, that we fully protect U.S. intellectual property rights and establish ways and means to cease government-directed cyber theft of U.S. trade secrets and intellectual property both for commercial and national security reasons. I am reminded that Ambassador Winston Lord, the U.S. Ambassador to Beijing in 1989, when he was briefing President Bush 41 in preparation of his first foreign trip. President Bush's first foreign trip in February of 1989 was to China where he had served as our representative back in the 1970s. Ambassador Lord wrote that memo to the President and said: You have got to talk about religious freedom, human rights. You have got to talk about Taiwan. You have got to talk about Tibet. And you have got to talk about theft of intellectual property. This was in February, 1989, Mr. Speaker, and we are still debating that issue today, unresolved. I would say that the European Union shares that view. Now, here is the amusing point. Ambassador Lord and the State Department team, when they sent that memo to President Bush 41, said that it was in its eighth printing, and they were sorry that the author wasn't getting any royalties for it. Meaning, we have been talking about this since we established diplomatic relations with China back in 1979, and we have been fighting this intellectual property theft. Number three, seek changes in China's extensive industrial policies which protect domestic sectors and firms, particularly China's state- owned industries. China's objective is for these state-owned enterprises to be global competitors compatible with other trading partners, but they are not. They are state-owned. They are state- subsidized. Finally, fourth, promote changes to industrial policies that provide open and reciprocal treatment for American exporters of goods and services by reducing nontariff barriers and making China's tariff level comparable with U.S. tariffs. I think those four things, Mr. Speaker, is what all of us agree on tonight, and I think they would benefit the European Union as well. But I think my friends hav made a good case that if we were to partner with the E.U. and with Japan, we would have a lot more economic clout in delivering on that negotiating posture. I would ask my friend from Ohio, does he share that view? What are his thoughts about what are alternative strategies maybe in the steel and aluminum area? Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Davidson).

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend from Ohio. It is quite clear that in Article I the Congress exclusively in an enumerated power has the power of regulating commerce between foreign nations and, of course, we know setting duties, levies, and taxes as an Article I power. I think you make an important component, just like Congress partnered with the executive branch on how to rightsize certain overregulation in our economy from the previous administration or how Congress collaborated with the Treasury Department in designing tax reforms to make America more competitive to have people bring business back to the U.S., not be double taxed on foreign earnings. In both of those examples, as you note, we collaborated, the executive branch and the legislative branch. So I do think that also would strengthen the sequencing of our strategy to get at the heart of what I think our key challenges are which revolve around access into China. I ask my friend, Mr. LaHood, does he have thoughts on this line of discussion?

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I am concerned about the steel and aluminum tariffs across the board. I have raised that issue before I was joined by many Members of the Congress on that issue because I felt like it came out of the blue to Members of Congress engaged in trade policy, whether on the House Financial Services Committee or on the House Ways and Means Committee, and that it was sweeping in its nature. It has produced the challenge you talked about that 20,000 American businesses are trying to seek an exclusion from that. I have several in my district, Mr. Speaker, who make the steel belts and steel-belted radial tires who are hurting. These are companies in Arkansas that use a steel rod that is not made in America, Mr. Speaker, and that is spun into the steel belt that is sold to the tire manufacturing industry. They are being hurt by this kind of across-the- board steel and aluminum tariff. If we are concerned about a good, healthy aluminum industry for national security purposes and a good, healthy steel industry for national security purposes, then we ought to go after, directly, the world's largest dumper of steel and aluminum, which is China and their state-owned enterprise sector with their subsidies, and not sweep up everyone engaged in that intermediate goods manufacturing in America, not penalize our partners in Europe who share that concern with us, who could help us go after that. Ambassador Lighthizer made a comment. He said: Well, one of the key reasons for going across the board like that was the risk of transshipment risk, in other words, violating the rules of origin, passing Chinese subsidized or dumped steel through a third country into the U.S., like Mexico, for example, or Canada, for example, just to name two possibilities. That got me thinking: Well, surely--back on my friend from Illinois' comment about enforcement--there is a more elegant way to tackle what is really a regulatory issue, a transshipment risk, rule of origin risk. Why don't we see what others are doing? So I looked at Canada. Just in March of this year, Mr. Speaker, the Canadians put in place a whole new regulatory regime working with the Americans to block rules of origin changes or transshipments of Chinese steel or aluminum through Canada. And, likewise, we have worked with the EU; and the OECD has their own steel committee that works to, on a regular basis, block that kind of work. So I just wonder, if we had consulted and worked together, perhaps we could have taken a more sophisticated route at stopping steel and aluminum dumping that is damaging our American industry. We do need a protective steel and aluminum industry in this country, no doubt. We also have good friends like Canada, good allies who produce it, but that is not to say that we don't want to have a vibrant industry here. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. LaHood).

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Davidson).

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the time of my colleagues tonight on the floor. We have worked hard tonight to talk about how do we have a more constructive partnership between the executive branch and the legislative branch like we do in designing economic policy, tax policy, regulatory reform policy, like this excellent description that Mr. Davidson gave of how we created a modernized CFIUS approach for reviewing investments into the United States. We had full engagement with General Mattis at the Pentagon, Secretary Mnuchin at the Treasury Department, Secretary Ross at the Commerce Department, and the White House, with Senator Cornyn in the United States Senate, Andy Barr, Robert Pittenger here in the House working to create a collaborative approach regarding how to have a great national security policy for investment in the U.S. I think we have all argued here tonight that, with our Article I engagement in the House Financial Services Committee, the House Ways and Means Committee, we want to be a constructive partner on accomplishing the President's objective, which is fair and reciprocal trade, first and foremost, with China, and to finally break this cycle we have talked about tonight of inadequacy, of holding them to account, making progress, enforcing their rules of the road under WTO, all with a heart toward helping our consumers, having more choice, more free trade, more opportunity to expand our economy, not contract, as we get into a downward spiral on a tariff-only strategy. Mr. Speaker, we want to work successfully with this administration on a new and modern NAFTA and with a successful set of trading arrangements with our friends in Europe and in Asia. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, my friend from Illinois mentioned enforcement. I was looking in the archives this week when I was thinking about China, and I found an article that I wrote back in 1996 as a private citizen about the Clinton administration's China policy. The paragraph on China and trade reads like this: China, as a world power, for her part, must recognize that bilateral and multilateral treaties are to be enforced. Lack of compliance with international treaty obligations must produce a known and delivered set of sanctions by the world community. China must clearly understand the consequences of noncompliance. I would argue so strongly about the gentleman's point that have we-- when I say ``we,'' I mean the United States, in the past two decades, the European Union as an entity and others--have we done a good job at enforcing those norms and those treaty provisions and those basic tenets of being a WTO member aggressively and collectively against China? I would argue we have a mixed record at best. But I think the gentleman makes a very good point about enforcement. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Davidson).

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the time tonight. It is my hope tonight that we will have a discussion in our country and in this historic Chamber on trade policy. I am delighted that two of my good colleagues have joined me to carry on this discussion. A key tenet of international economic policy for the Trump administration has been to improve U.S. bilateral and multilateral trade arrangements with an eye toward enforcing reciprocity with our trading partners as it relates to tariff levels and the elimination of nontariff barriers. The goal: to simply achieve more market access for American goods and services. Mr. Trump recognized this, campaigned on free and fair trade, and routinely emphasizes the importance of reciprocity between trading partners. He has stated that he prefers bilateral arrangements over multilateral arrangements by indicating that he did not want to pursue the Transpacific Partnership or the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, one with Asia partners and one with the EU. While it is true that bilateral treaties are easier to negotiate and acquire, select multilateral arrangements can achieve broad geopolitical and geo-economic strategic objectives. In the case of TPP, it could, potentially, significantly leverage the economic clout of China in Southeast Asia and obviously link longstanding free trade partners across the transatlantic region with the TTIP. President Trump has also initiated the effort to improve the North American Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA, among the United States, Mexico, and Canada. He has called this agreement one of the worst ever, but has offered concrete ways to improve it and modernize it for current conditions in Mexico, Canada, and the United States. No doubt, these are, in fact, significantly different than back in 1992 when the NAFTA agreement was arranged. This work continues in earnest, and I am pleased that the administration has made significant strides in improving NAFTA between Canada and Mexico over the past year, something that I think is very important in my home State of Arkansas, where Mexico and Canada are absolutely the largest trading partners that our companies and farmers have in my home State. President Trump's objectives of changing the mercantilistic trade policies of China have proven more challenging. Tonight, we will talk about the President's strategy, because we want the United States to have an opportunity in China. We want a more open China trading process. We want more goods and services made in America sold in China. But over the last 3 decades, China has developed into one of the world's largest and fastest growing economies, but also one of the world's largest protectionist economies, putting up barriers to American goods and services in both tariff matters and in nontariff ways. We are going to talk about that tonight, and I would like to start by talking about that with my friend from Ohio. What is interesting is that this strategy of getting at a more open China, ending a more mercantilistic trading policy with China has taken a couple courses of action: one, the President has imposed section 301 under the Trade Act of 1974, going after China's intellectual property theft in the U.S., their ability to compel U.S. companies or companies from the European Union to give up their intellectual property in order to do business in China, clearly a violation. And so the President has proposed a 301 investigation and tariffs related to that. He has also imposed tariffs under the 1962 act for national security purposes across the board on steel and aluminum--all countries, all products. And that is very challenging, Mr. Speaker, because, if the real issue is getting at China, the world's largest subsidizer and dumper of steel and aluminum, this may not be the most successful strategy to accomplish. That could, in fact, be a distraction from our ultimate objective in opening China. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Davidson), my friend, so that we can have his perspective on tariffs and trade and how we can improve and be more successful in getting the outcomes that we want.

Mr. HILL

Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise in honor of Mr. Howard Marshall, former Deputy Assistant Director at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Mr. Marshall recently concluded a 21-year career with the FBI, this after growing up in a household where his father, Brian, a resident of my district, was a special agent for 33 years. The Marshall family is visiting us in Washington, D.C., in the historic Capitol today. During the early stages, Mr. Marshall worked in St. Louis, Memphis, as well as the FBI headquarters, where he worked on multiple task forces and supervised a public corruption squad. In 2008, Mr. Marshall was promoted to FBI leadership as Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Dallas division, where he managed the white-collar crime and intelligence programs. After Dallas, he was promoted to the Inspection Division, where he led inspections of local field offices, as well as shooting incident review teams. Mr. Marshall was then appointed Special Agent in Charge in Louisville. Recently, Mr. Marshall served as the Deputy Assistant Director of the Cyber Division, where he supported the mission to identify and defeat cyber threats targeting U.S. interests. Prior to the FBI, Mr. Marshall worked for the Prosecuting Attorney's Office in Little Rock, Arkansas. We thank Mr. Marshall and his father, Brian, for their combined 54 years of public service to the American people and their service to the FBI, and all their fellow agents at the Bureau.
