Mr. Speaker. it is a great honor and pleasure to join in a richly merited tribute to Col. William King. retiring Director of the upstate New YorkBuffaloDistrict of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Throughout his many years of dedicated service. Bill King has aided literally thousands of persons in their efforts to enter our country and become citizens. As one columnist stated. "There are many brides. bridegrooms. and reunited families in Buffalo who add his name to their prayers of thanksgiving." A man of many talents. Colonel King began his career 34 years ago by joining the staff of the U.S. Immigration Service. At that time illegal entry into the United States was so often attempted that extreme skill was needed in order to detect the slightest trace of a foreign accent. Bill King was born in Springfield.
