          CHIEF HAROLD BRUNELLE OF THE HYANNIS FIRE DEPARTMENT

  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, the Hyannis Fire Department recently 
honored Harold S. Brunelle of Hyannis by appointing him as Fire Chief. 
This honor is a well-deserved tribute to Chief Brunelle, his 26-year 
career with the Department, and his commitment to the community of 
Hyannis.
  Chief Brunelle was chosen after nation-wide competition for the 
position of Fire Chief, and he was selected unanimously for the 
position in a field of 34 applicants.
  Chief Brunelle joined the Hyannis Department in 1972 as a Junior 
Firefighter and rose through the ranks because of his great ability and 
dedication. His selection as Fire Chief demonstrates the town's 
confidence in Mr. Brunelle and their faith in his able service and 
leadership to the residents of the community.
  Hyannis and Massachusetts are proud of Harold Brunelle's appointment 
as Fire Chief. I congratulate him on this distinction, and I look 
forward to working closely with him in the years ahead.
  I ask unanimous consent that the announcement of Chief Brunelle's 
selection by the Board of Commissioners of the Hyannis Fire District 
and an article from the Barnstable Register on Chief Brunelle's 
selection may be printed in the Record.
