  Mr. BASS. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure today to rise to 
pay tribute to David G. Walchak, Chief of Police for the city of 
Concord, NH, as he becomes the 83d President of the International 
Association of Chiefs of Police.
  Chief Walchak has a long and distinguished record of service as a law 
enforcement officer, going back to his days as a patrolman for the 
LaCrosse, WI, Police Department in the 1960's. David Walchak also 
excelled in law

enforcement positions in Minnesota and, for many years, in Maine, where 
he served as the director of the Maine Criminal Justice Academy and the 
law enforcement director of the Maine Municipal Association.
  For the past two decades, David Walchak has served as the chief law 
enforcement officer for the city of Concord, NH, the capital of our 
great State. He has earned the respect and admiration of the citizens 
of Concord, the city's elected leaders, his police department, and his 
colleagues from around New Hampshire and around the country.
  Chief Walchak has served as the First Vice-President of the 
International Association of Chiefs of Police and serves on numerous 
professional and civic boards at the local, State, and Federal levels. 
His long record of dedication to the field of law enforcement speaks 
volumes about his character, his honor, and his respect for the law.
  I know that his family and friends are very, very proud of his 
accomplishments, and I know that he will do a fantastic job as 
President of the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask all of my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Chief Walchak in his new role representing law enforcement officers 
from around the country and across the globe.
