                       Wednesday, March 17, 2010

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize 
one of law enforcement's outstanding leaders. Marcello Muzzatti, 
currently a police officer with the Washington Metropolitan Police 
Department K9 unit, has been a member of the Fraternal Order of Police 
since 1981. He currently serves as President of the Washington, DC 
Fraternal Order of Police Lodge number one, after having served 
fourteen (14) years as Vice-President.
  In 2002, Officer Muzzatti was appointed Chairman of the National 
Fraternal Order of Police Memorial Committee, by the late FOP 
President, Steve Young. One of his first orders of business as Chairman 
was planning the National Police Memorial Service. The Service includes 
all of the fallen law enforcement officers from across the Country, 
including those killed during the attacks of 9/11. He made many 
positive changes to the National Memorial Committee and took the 
National FOP Memorial Peace Officers Service to a new level of 
excellence.
  Officer Muzzatti has also worked tirelessly to strengthen and improve 
the relationships with many organizations. He volunteers his own time 
to reach out to the fallen officers' children by attending various 
retreats and events sponsored by Concerns of Police Survivors. He is 
also involved with the planning and implementation of the National Law 
Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund Museum project.
  Madam Speaker, it is an honor to recognize the hard work of police 
officers like Officer Muzzatti. He serves as an example to all and 
today, I salute him.
