Please honor Ariel and ATF by naming the current ATF HQ building after him.

I was a fellow classmate of Ariel's during ATF New Agent Training. I was also working with him on the Vice Presidential Drug Task Force the night he was murdered. I had the unenviable task of escorting Ariel's father to the hospital where his son was being kept on life support long enough for his father to say goodbye. Ariel paid the ultimate sacrifice so we can all feel safe in our homes and neighborhoods. His name should continued to be honored at 1200 Pennsylvania Ave NW so future generations can understand and appreciate the unselfish contributions and sacrifices made by Federal law enforcement officers each and every day.

My personal feeling is why would they dishonor this dedicated FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WHO MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE AND NOT CARRYOVER HIS NAME TO THE OTHER BUILDING

ATF is currently located at 99 New York Ave NE in Washington DC. The building currently has no name. Please honor former special agent Ariel Rios by placing his name on this current ATF building.

Rios was appropriately honored by Congress when his name was originally placed on the ATF Headquarters Building, and then inappropriately removed and dishonored. If it is not moved and placed on the new, stand alone ATF Headquarters Building, his name will continue to be dishonored. Congress needs to get this one right. Please recognize and honor Ariel Rios' sacrifice and let his name continue to serve by reminding all those ATF employees who follow in his footsteps.

Please restore the name to the Ariel Rios Building. It is a travesty that the name was ever changed.

Special Agent Ariel Rios earned the right to have his name put on that building. Please reinstate that Honor once again.

The ATF HQ building name should not have been changed in the first place. Any ATF HQ building should always be the Ariel Rios Building.
