             RECOGNIZING THE SERVICE OF SERGEANT HUMPHREYS

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the 32 years of 
service to our Nation of Sergeant Edward Owen Humphreys, U.S. Capitol 
Police, as he retires from the force.
  Edward Humphreys was born and raised in Chesapeake Beach, MD, the son 
of Louise and Edward Humphreys. Sergeant Humphreys attended Calvert 
County public schools, graduating from Calvert High School in June of 
1967. Soon after graduation, in 1968, Humphreys voluntarily joined the 
U.S. Navy, and proudly served 4 years during the Vietnam war. During 
his service in the Navy, Second Class Petty Officer Humphreys served on 
the USS Kitty Hawk and was a member of the VF 213 Black Lions F-14 
fighter squadron. He spent his Navy time in the Pacific, with service 
in Japan, China, Hong Kong, Australia, Hawaii, and the Philippines.
  After returning home from duty in the Navy, it was not long before 
Humphreys decided to continue his service to country by joining the 
U.S. Capitol Police in August of 1973. During his many years of duty in 
the Nation's Capitol, Sergeant Humphreys has worked in the Rayburn 
House Office Building, Communications, Patrol Division, and is 
currently assigned to the Senate Chamber section.
  Sergeant Humphreys will enjoy his well-earned retirement with his 
wife of over 30 years, Leslie, and their daughters Casey and Lindsey. 
Even in retirement, Sergeant Humphreys will continue to serve his local 
community as a member and administrator of the North Beach Volunteer 
Fire Department--which he joined at age 16.
  On behalf of the Senate, I am pleased to thank Sergeant Humphreys for 
his service to country and wish him well in his future endeavors.
