                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, April 5, 2006

  Mr. CASE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the outstanding work of 
the District of Hawaii United States Marshals Service, recipients of 
the 2005 USMS Distinguished Small District Director's Honorary Award.
  Last year, the District successfully accommodated significant 
workload and productivity increases in law enforcement and prisoner 
supervisions functions. The District was also exceptionally busy in 
ensuring the security of our federal judiciary, where proceedings of 
late have been highly charged.
  The District also continued its highly successful partnership with 
other federal, state, and local law enforcement entities through the 
Hawaii Fugitive Task Force, a unit of the Hawaii High Intensity Drug 
Trafficking Area that focuses on the arrest of dangerous fugitives 
wanted on federal and state felony warrants for drug-related crimes.
  For his work on the Hawaii Fugitive Task Force, Criminal 
Investigator/Deputy United States Marshal Glenn Ferreira received the 
Hawaii Federal Top Cop Award by the Hawaii State Law Enforcement 
Officers Association. This award is significant for the District as it 
is the first time, in its fifty year history, that the association has 
recognized a member of the United States Marshals Service.
  I would like to extend a sincere mahalo (thank you) to Mark ``Dutch'' 
Hanohano, United States Marshal for the District of Hawaii, and to our 
District's eighteen Deputy Marshals for their service and contributions 
to our state and our country. I would also like to thank all our United 
States Marshals that work daily to keep our communities and our nation 
safe.
  Mahalo, and aloha.
