  Mr. NEAL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Public Safety 
Commissioner E. John Morocco for 46 years of service to the City of 
North Adams, Massachusetts. Commissioner Morocco, in a career spanning 
over four decades, has been an instrumental member of the leadership 
within the city's and throughout Berkshire County's law enforcement 
duties. It is the dedication Commissioner Morocco has had to his job 
and to the people that has made North Adams, Massachusetts a safer 
place to live and to call ``home.''
  Throughout his tenure with the North Adams Police Department, 
Commissioner Morocco has held various roles over the years. Notable 
titles include being appointed Detective in 1986, Lieutenant in 1994 
and his retiring title of Commissioner in 1996. Commissioner Morocco 
also served as one of the founding members of the Berkshire County Drug 
Task Force and is also a past President of the New England Narcotic 
Enforcement Officers Association.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Commissioner Morocco on 
his achievements and thanking him for his contribution and dedication 
to the citizens and City of North Adams, Massachusetts.
