                      Wednesday, October 19, 2005

  Mr. BOUSTANY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the great 
achievements of Deputy Anthony Robert III, of Opelousas, Louisiana.
  In addition to his distinguished service as a Deputy Sheriff in Baton 
Rouge, Louisiana, Deputy Robert has also displayed an extraordinary 
athletic talent in track and field competition.
  At the 2005 Louisiana Police and Fire Summer Games in Lafayette, 
Louisiana, Deputy Robert won three gold medals in the 100 meter dash, 
200 meter dash, and javelin; as well as two silver medals in the shot 
put and the discus. His success continued this June during the 
Southeastern Police and Fire Championships, which took place in 
Birmingham, Alabama. There, Deputy Robert won a total of five gold 
medals in the following events: 100 meter dash, 200 meter dash, 400 
meter dash, 4 x 100 meter relay, and the 110 meter hurdles.
  Additionally, at the recent World Police and Fire Games, which took 
place this past summer in Quebec, Canada, Deputy Robert was awarded the 
bronze medal in the 110 meter high hurdles as well as a ranking of 4th 
in the world in the 400 meter hurdles.
  I applaud Deputy Robert's achievements, not only as a dedicated law 
enforcement officer, but also as a great representative of the citizens 
of Louisiana on the field of competition.
