 TRIBUTE TO LT. JOHN REGAN ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT FROM THE 
                       CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM O. LIPINSKI

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, April 1, 1998

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute today to a 
dedicated police officer who has spent 36 years protecting the lives 
and property of his fellow citizens, Lieutenant John T. Regan of the 
Chicago Police Department.
  Since 1962, Lieutenant Regan has served the city of Chicago and his 
community, including many people from my district, as a member of the 
Chicago Police Department. Most recently, he has worked in the Violent 
Crimes Office of the Area One Detective Division. On March 5, 1998, 
however, Lieutenant Regan retired from the police force. His presence 
will certainly be missed, both by his fellow officers and by the 
members of the community who he has served diligently for many years.
  Mr. Speaker, I salute Lieutenant John T. Regan on his 36 years as a 
police officer. I would like to extend my very best wishes for 
continued success and happiness in retirement and in the years to come.

                          ____________________
