                          National Police Week

  First, Mr. President, I want to thank our Capitol Police, the New 
York police, and police around the country for the outstanding work 
they do. Much like our troops overseas, our law enforcement officers 
risk their lives for our safety.
  As we welcome many police officers to the Capitol this week, I would 
like to express, on behalf of the Senate, our gratitude for their 
service, their sacrifice, and their countless daily acts of courage. 
Particularly, I want to say that in New York City, where we are so 
proud that crime is the lowest of the 25 largest cities in the country, 
we thank our New York City Police Department for a job well done. I 
would also like to thank the many police departments, sheriffs' 
offices, and so many others of our law enforcement in the State of New 
York. I have gotten to know them, respect them, and admire them as 
human beings and for the job they do.
