                       Tuesday, February 12, 2002

  Mrs. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to 
Dr. John J. Farrell who has spent his distinguished career serving and 
protecting the community. Now, more than ever, we recognize the men and 
women who dedicate their lives to law enforcement.
  During his outstanding career, Dr. Farrell has served Queens in a 
variety of capacities. After graduating from John Jay College of 
Criminal Justice, Dr. Farrell became a police officer. Dr. Farrell 
exemplifies all that is best about New York's Finest: hardworking, 
talented, and intelligent, he served New York bravely and was promoted 
to the rank of Inspector. After 30 years of service, Dr. Farrell 
retired from the police force and went into private practice. He worked 
as a private investigator and returned to John Jay College of Criminal 
Justice to earn his doctorate in Forensic Criminology and 
Investigation.

  Aside from his career in law enforcement Dr. Farrell has also 
specialized in the field of stress management, providing counsel to 
such businesses as General Motors of Queens and Grubb and Ellis of New 
York. In 1999 he opened his own hypnotherapy practice.
  Dr. Farrell has been a resident of Queens, NY, for more than 38 
years. He has been a committed member of the community at large, 
lending his talents and energy to a wide variety of organizations. He 
has served as executive director of the Queens Flag Day Committee. He 
is a board member of the Long Island City YMCA. Dr. Farrell also works 
as an officer advisor for the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings 
Point and as a Family Help Advisor with the U.S. Navy.
  Dr. Farrell's outstanding accomplishments have earned him special 
recognition from organizations as varied as the U.S. Secret Service, 
the U.S. Postal Service, the F.B.I., the New York Archdiocese, and the 
Brooklyn Archdiocese, to name a few. He was also awarded a special 
certificate of appreciation by A.C. Tuller Queensboro North for his 
service during the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
  Mr. Speaker, for his many contributions, I ask that my colleagues 
join me in saluting Dr. John J. Farrell.
