             TRIBUTE TO POLICE OFFICER WILLIAM F. KAZUPSKI

                                 ______


                        HON. WILLIAM O. LIPINSKI

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 8, 1994

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend an outstanding 
constituent of mine, police officer William F. Kazupski. Officer 
Kazupski helped rescue 19 neglected children from a Chicago housing 
project and deserves recognition for his humanitarian efforts.
  During a routine narcotic investigation, Police Officer Kazupski and 
his fellow officers of the Special Operations Unit 153 found 19 
children living in subhuman conditions. The children were sleeping in 
soiled clothes on the filthy bare floor which was littered with trash 
and rotted food. The officer also noticed bruises and other physical 
signs of abuse on the children's bodies.
  Officer Kazupski then arrested the six adults on the scene and 
charged them with endangering the life and health of a child. Officer 
Kazupski was also responsible for the expedient removal of these 
children from abominable conditions and their safe relocation to the 
Chicago Department of Children and Family Services.
  Officer Kazupski has dutifully served 7 years with the special 
operations unit of the Chicago Police Department. Officer Kazupski is 
the loving husband of Jodine and the proud father of his daughter, 
Katielyn.
  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to salute Police Officer William F. 
Kazupski for his extraordinary efforts in the rescue of these 19 
children. I hope my colleagues will join me in recognizing the 
continuing commitment of Officer Kazupski and all of our local police 
officers who protect our communities.
