                              POLICE WEEK

  Mr. PRYOR. Madam President, back in 1962, President John F. Kennedy 
signed a proclamation designating the week of May 15 as National Police 
Week. Since then, law enforcement officials from all across our country 
have gathered together to honor to those killed in the line of duty.
  As part of National Police Week, today representatives of law 
enforcement agencies will gather at the U.S. Capitol for the 33rd 
Annual National Peace Officers' Memorial Service. I join our State in 
honoring the life and service of the Arkansans who last year paid the 
ultimate sacrifice:
  Conway Police Officer William Michael McGary, Sebastian County Deputy 
Sheriff Terry Wayne Johnson, Fifth Judicial District Drug Task Force 
Coordinator Larry D. Johnson, Faulkner County Deputy Sheriff Hans J. 
Fifer, Wildlife Officer Joel Lee Campora, and Scott County Sheriff Cody 
Don Carpenter.
  We can never thank our law enforcement officials enough for all they 
have done for us and our families, but we will always remember them and 
their loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.
  To the families of Michael McGary, Terry Wayne Johnson, Larry D. 
Johnson, Hans J. Fifer, Joel Lee Campora, and Cody Don Carpenter, thank 
you for sharing these heroes with the world. To the Conway Police 
Department, Sebastian County Sheriff's Department, Fifth Judicial Drug 
Task Force, Faulkner County Sheriff's Department, Arkansas Department 
of Game and Fish, and Scott County Sheriff's Office, thank you for 
ensuring their legacies live on.
