 Mr. LIEBERMAN. Mr. President, I rise today to honor a former 
marine, Mr. Anthony (Duke) DeBiase on the occasion of his 29 years of 
faithful service to the youth of Connecticut through his service with 
the youth program, the Marine Cadets of America. Mr. DeBiase is a 
retired city of New Haven employee and also served as chief of security 
for the New Haven public school system prior to his retirement. Mr. 
DeBiase also served for 15 years as a member of the board of directors 
for the U.S. Marine Corps Youth Foundation and among his awards is the 
Distinguished Service Award from the foundation, he is also the 
recipient of the Certificate of Congressional Recognition which was 
awarded for his outstanding community service. Captain DeBiase 
presently serves as the commanding officer of Company A, 1st Battalion, 
Marine Cadets of America, a national program recognized by the U.S. 
Marine Corps and the U.S. Department of Defense. The dedication of 
Captain DeBiase to the war on drugs through his program has bestowed 
national recognition for his efforts and we wish him continued success
