                         TRIBUTE TO CHUCK LANGE

 Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. President, today I wish to honor Chuck Lange, 
who recently retired as the executive director of the Arkansas 
Sheriff's Association after more than two decades of service at the ASA 
and a lifetime of dedication to safety and law enforcement.
  As executive director of ASA, Chuck worked for the sheriffs of 
Arkansas but he shared his expertise in law enforcement with many more 
people. Chuck's passion for law enforcement and the lessons he learned 
at the University of Arkansas, the Southwest Texas State's Crime 
Prevention Institution, and the FBI National Academy benefitted 
Arkansans during his 43 years in law enforcement and security-related 
services.
  Chuck's professional achievements are far-reaching and his 
accomplishments continue far beyond the office. He passed along his 
decades of law enforcement knowledge to others. As a volunteer, Chuck 
conducts training sessions for rape victim advocates, earning him 
accolades from Rape Crisis, Inc. Having also taught women's self-
defense classes, it is evident that Chuck has a true commitment to 
making sure Arkansans understand how to protect themselves and stay 
safe.
  Chuck shares his strong commitment to law enforcement as a member of 
several boards and task forces including the Arkansas Law Enforcement 
Memorial Board; executive board at the Criminal Justice Institute; 
Arkansas Coalition Against Domestic Violence Board; Governor's 
Strategic Prevention Framework Advisory Board and Governor's Task Force 
on After School Programs.
  I congratulate Chuck Lange for his outstanding achievements and 
success in law enforcement and I ask my colleagues to join me in 
honoring him on his retirement. I wish him continued success in his 
future endeavors. We are all grateful for his years of service and 
leadership to Arkansas.
