                         Monday, July 12, 1999

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize 
Emergency Medical Officer Randall Bradford of Pueblo, Colorado. For his 
bravery, dedication and hard work. I would like to pay tribute to Mr. 
Bradford.
  For 28 years, Randall Bradford has spent his time responding to 
medical emergencies of all kinds, and saving the lives of many 
individuals. Classified as a medical officer, he not only actively 
serves to protect life, he also trains other firefighters and the 
public to perform CPR and to work as EMTs. Known for his patience and 
composure while aiding the injured and the ill, Mr. Bradford is well 
liked by all he comes into contact with.
  Mr. Bradford goes above and beyond the call of duty volunteering for 
and striving to complete tasks outside of his job description. He 
serves as a Medical Evaluator for the CSEPP Program, and as a member of 
the fire Department Critical Incident Debriefing Team. Credited with 
writing the Mass Fatality section of the Pueblo County Disaster Plan, 
he has also written and assembled the guide currently used by the Fire 
Department for medical reports.
  Currently, Mr. Bradford is focusing on the ``Drive Smart Pueblo'' 
program to educate drivers in the selection and use of child safety 
seats. He has volunteered numerous hours toward working at child Safety 
Seat check points. I appreciate his efforts in protecting and educating 
the citizens of Pueblo. His dedication, hard work, kindness, and 
generosity of his time are to be commended and because of them, I wish 
to recognize Randall Bradford.
