Green Card Celebration



After six years of a bizarre, time-consuming, and expensive application process, a member of the RXTE team finally received his "green card" (officially a Permanent Resident Card, which is no longer green) from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (formerly the INS). A surprise party was held in the Building 2 "dungeon" to celebrate this happy event. In addition to congratulations and best wishes, the guest of honor was presented with a "GO GREEN" cap. Fittingly two days earlier the Washington Post ran a front page story entitled "Immigration Agency Mired in Inefficiency."
