                 ON THE RETIREMENT OF BERNADETTE CASEY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. STEVE ISRAEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 1, 2002

  Mr. ISRAEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to an exemplary member 
of the Long Island community.
  The Suffolk County Police Department consistently shows us the best 
and most heroic that Long Island has to offer. For 20 years, Bernadette 
Casey has served as a valuable member of that department. During that 
two-decade tenure, Ms. Casey was assigned to the Homicide Squad as 
Stenographer, Senior Stenographer and Principal Stenographer. She has 
made a lasting contribution to the safety of Long Island residents.
  On August 31, 2002, Bernadette Casey retired from the police 
department. She will be sorely missed by her colleagues, who brought 
her retirement to my attention. I come to this floor so that I may 
offer my congratulations and best wishes.
  Mr. Speaker, Long Island appreciates the service of Bernadette Casey.
