  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I rise to the floor today to pay tribute to 
the law enforcement community of Beaver County, Pennsylvania. These 
heroic men and women of uniform will be honored on Friday, May 18, 2001 
as part of Peace Officers Memorial Day.
  Pursuant to a joint resolution of the United States Congress issued 
June 21, 1961, the President of the United States has designated a week 
in May as Police Week, in honor of the federal, state, and municipal 
law enforcement officers who have lost their lives or suffered injuries 
while safeguarding the lives and properties of the communities they 
serve.
  I join all the residents of Beaver County in recognizing the 
courageous service these police officers provide to their communities. 
Their dedication to protecting and preserving the laws of this great 
land and ensuring that all citizens receive justice deserves the praise 
and gratitude of all Americans.
  I congratulate these men and women who selflessly risk their lives to 
protect ours, and I thank them for all their service.
