  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the career of Chief 
John G. McCormack, who has served the Manalapan Police Department and 
the people of Manalapan for 30 years and as chief for 7 years.
  In his 30 years of service he has risen through the ranks of the 
Manalapan Police Department, starting as a police dispatcher in 1973.
  Along with his commitment to the department he has spent numerous 
hours serving as the Emergency Management Coordinator for the Township 
of Manalapan for the last seven years. He also serves as the Municipal 
Disaster Control Director for the town and sits on the Monmouth County 
Community Crisis Response Planning Committee.
  His dedication to his work earned him the honor of being named Chief 
of the Year by the Princeton Education Research Institute and the Law 
Enforcement Man of the Year by the Manalapan-Marlboro Post 972 Jewish 
War Veterans of the United States.
  Prior to serving and protecting his community, Chief McCormack served 
his country. He served four years in the United States Air Force, 
including a tour in Vietnam.
  As an inspiration to police officers in his department and the state 
of New Jersey, Chief McCormack has contributed significantly to the 
life of his community. He has earned our heartfelt appreciation for his 
efforts.
