SALUTING ED FOX FOR WINNING THE DORIS BERRY CRIME WATCH CHAIRPERSON OF 
                          THE YEAR 2009 AWARD

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. SAM JOHNSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 14, 2009

  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate Ed 
Fox for winning the Doris Berry Crime Watch Chairperson of the Year 
Award for 2009. According to his peers, Ed has served as the 
chairperson for the Prestonwood Estates Neighborhood Association West 
(PENA West) Crime Watch since its inception in October 1999. He has 
also served as chairperson for their Volunteers in Patrol (VIP) program 
for seven years. Ed is also currently serving a third term as the North 
Central Patrol Division's Crime Watch Executive Board (CWEB) 
representative and was recently elected president of CWEB.
  In addition to the time required to fulfill his duties as CWEB 
president and PENA West CW chairperson, Ed spends countless hours 
attending crime watch and VIP start up meetings to assist new groups in 
getting started. Based on his reputation in the North Central Division, 
many citizens request to have Ed speak at their crime watch meetings. 
Being a retired salesman, Ed uses his skills to sell the VIP concept to 
various homeowner groups. Not only does he help them organize a 
neighborhood meeting, but he also speaks at the meeting himself to 
promote the CW and VIP programs. In the past year alone, Ed has 
attended over 120 CW and VIP meetings and also spoken at the majority 
of them.
  Ed is always trying to think of ways to expand the CW/VIP programs in 
North Dallas. Last year he contacted the North Dallas Chamber of 
Commerce to inquire about using their organization to spread the word 
about neighborhood crime prevention programs. Ed has proposed the idea 
to them to consider establishing a permanent crime prevention committee 
to provide advice and information for their members.
  For his tireless work ethic, enthusiasm and dedication to the Crime 
Watch and VIP programs in the North Central Division, it is my honor to 
recognize Mr. Ed Fox for winning the 2009 Doris Berry Crime Watch 
Chairperson of the Year Award.
  God bless you and I salute you.

                       SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS

  Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, agreed to by the Senate on February 
4, 1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized 
schedule of all meetings and hearings of Senate committees, 
subcommittees, joint committees, and committees of conference. This 
title requires all such committees to notify the Office of the Senate 
Daily Digest--designated by the Rules Committee--of the time, place, 
and purpose of the meetings, when scheduled, and any cancellations or 
changes in the meetings as they occur.
  As an additional procedure along with the computerization of this 
information, the Office of the Senate Daily Digest will prepare this 
information for printing in the Extensions of Remarks section of the 
Congressional Record on Monday and Wednesday of each week.
  Meetings scheduled for Tuesday, September 15, 2009 may be found in 
the Daily Digest of today's Record.
