                         Tuesday, May 21, 1996

  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I invite my colleagues to honor a group of 
citizens with me that glorify the State of New Jersey. On the 14th of 
May this year the City of Camden held it's Police Awards Banquet. 
Citizens and police officers that went beyond the call of duty received 
awards in their particular areas of service. These people exemplify the 
definition of what a citizen to one's community is. Police officers put 
their lives on the line every day to protect the people of our 
communities. We should award not just the following individuals, but 
all officers of the law as well. Without them, our families and 
communities would not be safe.
