                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 12, 2004

  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize and praise a hard-working man dedicated to supporting the 
community. I am fortunate that the community he supports is Hernando 
County in my 5th Congressional District.
  Joseph Raphael Paez was born in New York City on August 17, 1944. Joe 
served in the Army National Guard of New Jersey and Connecticut for a 
term of six years. He married and is the proud father of four grown 
children.
  He joined the Hernando County Sheriff's office in 1976 and served in 
many capacities during his tenure. Joe was promoted to Lieutenant in 
January 1993 and was assigned to Operations Support--a group helping 
officers living with job related trauma.
  Joe is retiring from the Sheriff's Department as the Public 
Information Officer for Sheriff Richard B. Nugent and should be honored 
for his service and dedication.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to represent Joe Paez, and I am proud 
to praise him on the floor of this House.
