                         Thursday, May 9, 1996

  Mr. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
James R. Nunes, who is retiring after 33 distinguished years as a 
police officer and 17 years as Chief of Police in Pleasant Hill, 
California.
  Chief Nunes' distinguished career began in 1959 when he served as a 
military police officer in the United States Army. He then progressed 
through the ranks in both the Hayward and Sausalito police departments.
  In 1979, he arrived in Pleasant Hill to serve as Chief of Police. He 
has maintained that esteemed rank to the present, and retires with 
pride after a long and meritorious career serving the Bay Area.
  Chief Nunes has proven himself as a leader among leaders in the field 
of law enforcement officers and he embodies the very best in community 
spirit. Beyond his professional duties, he has volunteered his time and 
energies to a variety of organizations and activities. His caring and 
dedication are hallmarks of both his professional and personal life.
  I know that the other members of the House will join me in thanks to 
Chief James Nunes for his years of dedicated service to society and 
wish him the very best in the future.
