                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                            HON. BOB FRANKS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 28, 1998

  Mr. FRANKS of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, ``To everything there is a 
season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven; a time to be 
born, and a time to die . . . ''
  For Officer Jacob Joseph (J.J.) Chestnut and Detective John Michael 
Gibson, the time to die came too soon. These two brave men sacrificed 
their lives so that others might live. Our Nation will never forget 
their acts of bravery and courage.
  On behalf of all the citizens of the Seventh Congressional District 
of New Jersey, I express our sadness and grief to the families of these 
two heroes. While words cannot mend their broken hearts, our thoughts 
and prayers are with them.
  Officer Chestnut, Detective Gibson, you showed us what courage really 
is. God Bless You and God Bless the United States of America.
