Agent Rios died in service to his country, and for years, his service was honored by naming the ATF Headquarters building at 1200 Pennsylvania Ave after him. The fact that ATF has re-located to its present location, should not diminish the honor that once was bestowed upon Agent Rios and his family.

SA Rios' sacrifice is an intrinsic part of ATF history and serves as a reminder of the potential price to be paid by those who serve in Federal Law Enforcement. His work and sacrifice should again be recognized and serve as an inspiration and source of pride for those who continue the work and mission of the agency. SSA Jim Yurgealitis (ATF Ret.)

Agent Rios should get the recognition he deserves, the building should continue to be named after him, he gave his life for his country, we should never forget those people who do that, this one is a no brainer.

Ariel Rios was a heroic agent and was killed in the line of duty. Keep his name on the building. Clinton was impeached and no one seams to want to remember that. For gosh sake. Give Ariel Rios some recognition for his heroic deeds.

The Law Enforcement community is one built on tradition and honor to duty and sacrifice. The clearest way Congress can uphold those values is to rename the new ATF headquarters for SA Rios.

I am a TFO with ATF, and have the pleasure and honor to serve with fine and dedicated Agents. Traditions and reverence to sacrifice should be kept.

I support naming the "new" ATF HQ's in Honor of SA RIOS. The decision should be a no brainier! Honor SA RIOS now!

He earned his dedication and under no circumstances should it be taken away.
