                       Tuesday, February 1, 1994

  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to your 
attention the fine work and outstanding public service of Edward F. 
Stout. Ed recently retired after 30 distinguished years of service to 
the city of Fontana as a police officer and most recently as chief of 
police.
  Ed, who has lived in Fontana for the past 50 years, received his 
associate of science degree in Police Science from Chaffey Community 
College and a bachelor of arts degree in Criminal Justice from 
California State College in San Bernardino.
  Ed Stout joined the Fontana Police Department in November 1963 as a 
police officer, serving initially in the patrol division and as an 
investigator. Upon being promoted to sergeant, Ed served in patrol, 
training, personnel, internal affairs and investigations. He later 
served as commander of the administration division as a lieutenant and 
was responsible for police records, dispatch, crime prevention and 
personnel matters. Ed was promoted to serve as commander of the 
operations division as a captain responsible for patrol and 
investigation units before being appointed as chief of police for the 
city of Fontana in January, 1989.
  Over the years, Ed has been an active member of a number of civic and 
community based organizations. He is a 20-year member and past 
president of the Exchange Club, and has been recognized as the 
recipient of the Exchange Club Book of Golden Deeds and the Exchangite 
of the Year award. Ed is also a charter board member and past president 
of the Boys and Girls Club of Fontana, past manager of little league 
baseball and girls softball team, and the past chairman of Fontana 
Days. In addition, he is the past president of the Fontana Police 
Benefit Association and the San Bernardino County Police Chiefs and 
Sheriffs Association, as well as the past chairman of the San 
Bernardino County Criminal Justice Administrators Association and the 
Southern California Police Legal Advisors Committee.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me, our colleagues, Ed's wife 
Kathryn, their four children, and their many friends in wishing Ed the 
very best in his retirement. In his many years of devoted service, Ed 
Stout has touched the lives of many people in our community and it is 
only fitting that the House recognize him today.
