  Mr. GARY G. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute 
and honor the achievements of Russell J. Rice, Chief of Police for the 
city of Placentia, California, who is retiring after 30 years of 
exemplary service.
  Chief Rice's leadership and impressive record of academic career and 
civic involvement has earned the admiration and respect of all those 
who have had the privilege of working with him. He was named P.O.S.T. 
Command College, Outstanding Student for Academic Achievement, Class 
18, 1994; City of Placentia, Employee of the Year, 1986; Placentia 
Police Officer's Association, Officer of the Year, 1985; and Disabled 
American Veterans, Outstanding Police Officer, 1984 and 1985.
  I would like to congratulate Chief Rice on these many accomplishments 
and sincerely thank him for his ongoing commitment to the community, 
which he has served so admirably.
