  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, it is with great 
sadness that I rise today and ask my colleagues to join me in mourning 
the passing of Officer James Williams, Jr. Officer Williams, a member 
of the Oakland Police Department and resident of Pinole, California, 
died in the line of duty on Sunday, January 10, 1999. Like all of his 
colleagues throughout law enforcement, Officer Williams put himself at 
risk for the sake of us all, and for his sacrifice we are forever 
indebted. He has earned our sincerest respect and gratitude, I know 
that I speak for every Member of this Chamber when I express our 
deepest sympathy and appreciation to his wife, Sabrina, and children, 
Alexander, Aaron and Arriana.
