  Mr. GEPHARDT. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize Officer James D.

Officer Wilferd has worked to fight crime on the streets and in the 
neighborhoods of St. Louis. On behalf of the people of St. Louis, I

During his tireless service to our community, Officer Wilferd earned an

  Officer Wilferd and his wife, Marcella, have three children and four 
grandchildren. His sons, David and Todd Wilferd, are both members of 
the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. Officer Wilferd's other 
son, Terry is presently serving in the U.S. Air Force.
  I commend Officer Wilferd's service. Officer Wilferd will retire from 
the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department May 15, 1994.
