Madam Speaker, Judiciary Crime Subcommittee Chairman Bobby Scott and I would like to take this opportunity to thank one of the most productive and dedicated members of the Judiciary Committee staff, Mario Dispenza. For the past two years, Mario has served as a counsel for the Committee, working principally with the Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security Subcommittee.

Mario came to the Judiciary Committee on a detail from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), where he has worked for 20 years. After graduating with honors from Kean University, he began his distinguished career with the ATF as a special agent in Cleveland, quickly moving up through the ranks to become a Program Manager in the Office of Professional Responsibility and Security Operations. While working for the ATF, Mario studied in the International Human Rights Programme at the New College of Oxford University, and earned his law degree with honors from The George Washington University Law School.

Mario's tenure with the Committee included work on legislation of critical importance to our nation's criminal justice system. He ushered several important measures through the Committee and the full House, including during the 110th Congress: H.R. 923, the ``Emmet Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act,''; H.R. 1199, the ``Drug Endangered Children Act of 2007''; H.R. 1759, the ``Managing Arson Through Criminal History (MATCH) Act of 2007''; H.R. 1943, the ``Stop AIDS in Prison Act of 2007''; H.R. 2286, the ``Bail Bond Fairness Act of 2007''; H.R. 2878, the ``Enhanced Financial Recovery and Equitable Treatment Act of 2007''; H.R. 3480, the ``Let Our Veterans Rest in Peace Act of 2007''; H.R. 3456/S. 231 to Reauthorize the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistant Grant Program at Fiscal Year 2006 Levels through 2012; H.R. 3971, the ``Deaths in Custody Reporting Act of 2008''; H.R. 4056/S. 2565, the ``Federal Law Enforcement Congressional Badge of Bravery Act of 2007''; H.R. 4238, the ``Literacy, Education and Rehabilitation Act of 2007''; H.R. 4300, the ``Juvenile Justice Accountability and Improvement Act of 2007''; H.R. 5057, the ``Debbie Smith Reauthorization Act of 2008''; H.R. 5938, the ``Former Vice President Protection Act of 2008''; H.R. 6083, To authorize funding to conduct a national training program for State and local prosecutors; H.R. 6295/S. 3598, the ``Drug Trafficking Vessel Interdiction Act of 2008''; H.R. 6838, the ``Campus Safety Act of 2008''; H.R. 4110/S. 973, the ``Restitution for Victims of Crime Act of 2007'' and H.R. 845, the ``Criminal Restitution Improvement Act.'' During the 111th Congress, Mario has been integral to the progress of: H.R. 738, the ``Death in Custody Reporting Act of 2008''; H.R. 748, the ``Center to Advance, Monitor, and Preserve University Security (CAMPUS) Safety Act of 2009''; H.R. 503, the ``Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act of 2009''; H.R. 1741, the ``Witness Security and Protection Grant Program Act of 2009''; H.R. 1667, the ``War Profiteering Prevention Act of 2009''; and the Department of Justice reauthorization appropriations.

We would like to thank the ATF for their generosity in lending such an able, responsible, and genial member of their team to the Congress. Mario will be missed, for he has become a trusted colleague, mentor, and friend to many members of the staff and Committee. We wish him the best of luck and extend our deepest gratitude for his service and professionalism.

Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4238, a bill to designate a facility in Greeley as the W.D. Farr Post Office Building.

During his lifetime, W.D. Farr was a pioneer rancher, water expert, and banker who made immense contributions to Greeley, helping make the city what it is today. William Davin Farr was a third-generation Coloradan, born in Greeley in 1910. Farr came from an established farming family. He grew up working with sheep and cattle on the family farm. In 1931, Farr and his father bought 125 cattle and built a feed lot in Greeley, Farr Feeders. By the late 1960s, the Farr feed yard had grown to about 25,000 head of cattle.

While working on the farm and at the feed lot, he became involved with several irrigation ditch companies. Through his work in irrigation, he came to understand the importance of water to the continued growth of the Greeley community. Farr then became active with the Colorado Big Thompson Water Project, which brings water from the western slopes of the Rocky Mountains to help irrigate approximately 693,000 acres of northeastern Colorado farmland. Farr later came to serve on the board of directors of the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District and the Greeley Water Board for over 40 years.

In addition to his many achievements in agriculture and water, Farr was also active in government, both local and national. He served as an adviser to the U.S. Department of Agriculture under three U.S. Presidents: Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Richard Nixon.

He served on a number of national boards and committees, including the Department of the Interior Water Pollution Control Advisory Board and the Agricultural Committee of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

The land on which this post office was built was owned by another Greeley agricultural pioneer, C.O. Plumb. Upon his death, Plumb donated his home and land just south of the W.D. Farr Post Office to the Greeley Museums for use as an agricultural learning center. Both men made significant contributions to the agricultural and social vitality of Weld County.

In 2007, W.D. Farr passed away at his home in Greeley at the age of 97. Farr and his family have made innumerable contributions to the Greeley community as well as to Colorado and to the United States.

I am proud to stand in support of this bill that would name one of the post offices in Greeley after this pillar of the community.
