HONORING AND RECOGNIZING FBI SUPERVISORY AGENT DELL SPRY

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 25 (Wednesday, February 4, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 25 (Wednesday, February 4, 2026)] [House] [Page H2014] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING AND RECOGNIZING FBI SUPERVISORY AGENT DELL SPRY (Mr. McCORMICK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. McCORMICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor and recognize the career of one of our Nation's greatest spy catchers. My constituent, Marvin ``Dell'' Spry, spent nearly 20 years in the FBI running counterintelligence operations to keep our country safe. Mr. Spry ran the FBI investigations that caught Aldrich Ames, a high- ranking CIA official who betrayed his country for money and spent nearly one decade spying for the Soviet Union. In 1994, the FBI caught Ames, and Mr. Spry put him in handcuffs. After pleading guilty to espionage charges, Ames received a life sentence and died in Federal prison last month. Mr. Spry received many decorations for his outstanding leadership of the investigation and retired from the Bureau in 2006. Since then, he has continued to share his wisdom and expertise with FBI trainees and young people interested in law enforcement. On behalf of a grateful nation, I thank Mr. Spry for his patriotism and honorable service to our Nation. Job well done. Semper Fidelis. ____________________
