              HONORING CORRECTIONS OFFICER SCOTT WILLIAMS

  (Mr. CAPPS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Corrections 
Officer Scott Williams who was killed in the line of duty last Thursday 
at the U.S. Penitentiary in Lompoc, CA.
  Courage was nothing new to Scott Williams. During his tenure at 
Lompoc, he was promoted from officer to senior officer specialist. A 
former Marine of the Year, he served with distinction and saved lives 
in Desert Storm. Officer Williams received no fewer than six awards for 
outstanding service. He was also a beloved family man who is survived 
by his wife Kristy and their two young daughters, Kallee and Kaitlin. 
His selfless dedication is a lesson to us all.
  Today we also pay tribute to injured Corrections Officer Scot Elliot 
and Warden Dave Rardin and all those who came to the aid of a fellow 
officer.
  Mr. Speaker, I know I speak for the entire House when I extend my 
condolences to the family and friends of this brave fallen soldier.
