                  TRIBUTE TO OFFICER WILLIAM C. DAVIS

  Mr. DeCONCINI. Madam President I hope my colleagues will join me in 
paying tribute to Officer William ``Bill'' C. Davis who retired from 
the U.S. Capitol Police on April 30, 1994, after 20 years of service to 
the Senate. Born on May 28, 1932, Bill has dedicated his professional 
life to the service of his country. Before joining the Capitol Police 
on April 15, 1974, Officer Davis had already served as a member of the 
U.S. Air Force for 20 years. His many experiences in the Air Force 
proved to be the source of endless entertaining and laugh-provoking 
stories for his colleagues. Members of the Senate will certainly miss 
the booming voice and big grin of Officer Davis, which have been 
welcome alternatives over the years to the difficult task of facing the 
Nation's daily problems. Bill was an endless source of wisdom and wit, 
qualities we see far too little of in this day and age. He was a loyal, 
committed, and security-minded officer who protected the Members of 
this body with great ability and integrity. Officer Bill Davis will 
certainly be missed. I am certain my colleagues will join me in 
thanking him for his 20 years of dedicated service to the Capitol 
Police, and wish him, his wife Florence, and his two children the best 
of luck in their future lives.
