  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, friends, family and members of the city of 
New Haven will gather on May 13th to honor one of our city's finest 
public servicemen. For more than three decades, Captain Andrew 
Consiglio, Jr. has served as a member of the New Haven Police 
Department, protecting the City and its residents.
  In 1966, Andy entered one of the most challenging and rewarding 
professions. Law enforcement officials make tremendous sacrifices in 
service to our community, putting their lives on the line each and 
every day. In his three decades on the New Haven Police Force, Andy has 
always been on the front lines, his first priority always the safety 
and security of the public. Moving steadily up through the ranks, he 
has met every new challenge with energy, integrity and vision. His 
commitment to enhancing public safety has made a profound difference in 
the City of New Haven.
  Throughout his career, Andy has distinguished himself as an 
exceptionally dedicated member of the force. His many accolades include 
18 Certificates of Commendation, 10 Letters of Commendation, 2 Awards 
of Merit, 26 Letters of Appreciation, and 1 Certificate of 
Appreciation--a true testimony to his dedication to the City of New 
Haven and of the community's respect for him.
  It is an honor for me to pay tribute to Andy who is not only an 
exemplary public serviceman, but a true friend to me. I grew up with 
Andy in New Haven's Wooster Square, and he has been an unfailing source 
of support for me and my family throughout my life. He is a trusted and 
well-known figure in the community, who will long be remembered for his 
extraordinary commitment to the people of New Haven.
  Andy has seen the City change over the years and has worked 
tirelessly to make our community a place where we feel safe to live and 
raise our families. Today, I am proud to join with family, friends and 
the City of New Haven to thank him for his innumerable contributions to 
our community and for thirty-three years of dedicated public service. 
Mere words cannot express our appreciation and we wish him much health 
and happiness in his retirement.
