                       Thursday, January 9, 1997

  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Speaker, we would like to bring to your 
attention the memory of two Riverside County sheriff's deputies who 
became victims of a senseless and tragic act of violence on January 5, 
1997. Early Sunday morning, Deputy James W. Lehmann, Jr. and Deputy 
Michael P. Haugen, two of our finest law enforcement officials, gave 
their lives in the line of duty.
  The deputies, these husbands, these fathers went out everyday to make 
a difference and they did--some days in small ways, some days in big 
ways, and, on this date, at the cost of their lives. One cannot ask 
more of peace officers. Deputies Lehmann and Haugen deserve our deepest 
respect and gratitude.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you and our colleagues join us today in 
remembering these fine men. Our prayers and most heartfelt sympathy are 
extended to their families and loved ones. To Deputy Lehmann's wife, 
Valerie, son, Christopher and daughter, Ashley; and Deputy Haugen's 
wife, Elizabeth, son, Stephen, and daughter, Catherine--we honor the 
memory of your loved ones and wish them God's peace.
