 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to 
commend Police Chief Stephen R. Monier on his outstanding career as a 
law enforcement agent in Goffstown, New Hampshire. I congratulate him 
on his twenty-eight years of tireless service and his retirement from 
the police force on December 31, 1998.
  Chief Monier's record of achievement is worthy of outstanding honor. 
As an officer, he served as a Patrol Officer, Director of the Juvenile 
Division, Administrative Services Officer, Sergeant, Lieutenant and, 
ultimately, Chief. Chief Monier was a Commissioner with the Commission 
on the Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc., a past 
president of the New Hampshire Association of Police (NHACP), a member 
for nine years on the Council at New Hampshire Police Standard and 
Training and a member of New England Association of Chiefs of Police 
and International Associations of Chiefs of Police. He also had the 
honor of being selected as a member of the 1996 Centennial Summer 
Olympic's Security Team in Atlanta, Georgia, and was selected as a 
security team leader for the Athens' Olympics.
  Along with this prestigious law enforcement career, Chief Monier was 
President and a member of the Rotary International's Goffstown Chapter, 
founding member and Board of Director's member for Crispin's House, 
Inc., a nonprofit organization designed to assist at-risk youths and 
families, and assistant coach for the Goffstown Parks and Recreation 
Youth Basketball League. His philanthropic record is an outstanding 
achievement.
  Police Chief Stephen R. Monier is an asset to his community as well

well-known and well-respected man. New Hampshire has always been 
fortunate to have great law enforcement agents, and Mr. Monier 
exemplifies this ideal. I am proud of his achievements and his long and 
honorable commitment to law enforcement. I would like to wish Chief 
Monier, along with his wife Sandra and their two teenage sons, the best 
of luck as he embarks on this new stage in his life. It is an honor to 
represent you in the United States Senate.
