  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, Whereas, Officer William David Peoples, of the 
Cambridge, Ohio Police Department has been recognized as its Officer of 
the Month for May 2001; and
  Whereas, Officer Peoples has continually demonstrated a superlative 
degree of professionalism, care and commitment in his role as a police 
officer, and
  Whereas, he was awarded the Exceptional Service Medal in 1995 for his 
heroic actions and effective problem solving as he helped deliver water 
to the 12,000 residents of Cambridge when a main line broke; and,
  Whereas, he was again recognized with the Life Saving Medal with 
Silver Torch, in 1997 for his patience and bravery in the prevention of 
a suicide attempt;
  Therefore, I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring the 
dedication and the exemplary service of Officer William D. Peoples, a 
man whom I am proud to call a constituent and one who serves as an 
example to us all.
