                       A TRIBUTE TO ROBERT TURNER

  (Mr. DREIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, on August 3, 1970, Robert Turner joined the 
Capitol Hill Police Force. That was 24 years ago.
  Yesterday was his last day. for the past 17 years he has stood at the 
corner of New Jersey and Independence and taken care of all of us and 
our constituents and the many needs that are faced here in the U.S. 
Capitol.
  He has demonstrated a great personal interest in many Members of 
Congress, and I most specifically think of our late colleague, 
Congressman Gene Chappie. He has always been very concerned about his 
widow, Nancy, and has spent a great deal of time regularly asking me 
about her. He has also spent a great deal of time ensuring that young 
people who visit the Capitol have an opportunity to learn and know 
about what is going on here.
  I met him on a very cold December day in 1980. And since that time, 
he has been a friend to me. I will sorely miss Robbie when he retires, 
but I know that all of our colleagues would want to join in wishing him 
well in his retirement.
