                        HON. RONALD K. MACHTLEY

                            of rhode island

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 1994

  Mr. MACHTLEY. I am honored in paying special tribute to Wallace F. 
Lees retirement as chief of the Burrillville Police Department. I 
congratulate him for the many significant contributions he has made to 
the community.
  For over 30 years, Chief Lees has admirably served the town by 
consistently demonstrating his commitment and dedication to fighting 
crime and creating a safe environment for all Burrillville residents. 
Chief Lees has distinguished himself as a prominent leader who goes 
above and beyond the call of duty for the betterment of mankind, he has 
instituted a myriad of safety, public service, substance abuse 
prevention, and crime fighting programs which have had a positive 
impact on the community.
  Throughout his entire law enforcement career, beginning with his 
appointment as patrolman in 1963, sargeant in 1969, and as chief in 
1988, Chief Lees has been an inspirational presence on the force, whose 
service will be greatly missed and long remembered.
  Again, I am honored to pay special tribute to Chief Wallace F. Lees. 
I wish to congratulate him on his outstanding service to the citizens 
of the town of Burrillville. I wish him the best in all of his future 
endeavors.
