              TRIBUTE TO CHIEF GEORGE R. ``BOB'' JOHNSTON

 Mr. PRYOR. Mr. President, I rise today to pay special tribute 
to a distinguished Arkansan, and my good friend, Chief Bob Johnston of 
the Arkadelphia Police Department.
  Chief Johnston, last year's president of the Arkansas Association of 
Chiefs of Police, [AACP], received the association's highest honor when 
he was named Chief of the Year this past September. The chiefs 
association is an organization that keeps chiefs of police from across 
the State in touch with one another and provides seminars that offer 
hours of certified law enforcement training in various areas. The AACP 
also offers drug education programs for junior and senior high schools. 
Johnston was lauded for his leadership of the AACP as president in 
1993-94. The organization made great strides this year with his work on 
the Governor's Law Enforcement Work Group, the Law Enforcement Summit 
meeting, and the legislative special session where tougher laws were 
passed to improve law enforcement capabilities of reducing violent 
crimes.
  The leadership that Chief Johnston has exemplified as the president 
of the Arkansas Association of Chiefs of Police this past year is 
greatly appreciated by all. In talking with Johnston's colleagues in 
Arkansas, I have discovered that his advice has been sound; his 
expertise has been crucial; and his support of the association is 
unerring.
  Mr. President, I applaud Chief Johnston's work.
