                        Thursday, July 14, 2005

  Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise to 
commend one of my constituents, Thomas Carr, recipient of a fellowship 
to attend Harvard University's Senior Executives in State and Local 
Government Program at the John F. Kennedy School of Government.
  As Chief of Montgomery County (MD) Fire and Rescue Service, Mr. Carr 
works to protect the community and educate the residents on safety 
precautions and fire prevention. His efforts were recognized by the 
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a primary supporter of the 
fellowship. Since 1896, the Association has been a leader promoting 
fire, electrical, building, and life safety awareness.
  Mr. Carr, likewise, has been a leader in promoting fire, electrical, 
building, and life safety awareness to the citizens of our community. I 
applaud Thomas Carr and wish him continued success in the years ahead.
