                      RECOGNIZING CHIEF JIM DeMANN

  (Mr. PAULSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize the service of Eden 
Prairie Police Chief Jim DeMann, who will retire at the end of 
September after a career of dedication to the safety of Eden Prairie 
and Minnesota families.
  Chief DeMann spent his entire career in law enforcement serving our 
community in Eden Prairie. In fact, his 31 years of service began back 
in 1983, as a Police Department intern. But by 1987 he was a sworn 
officer, and he served for almost a decade as a canine officer.
  I have known Jim for years, and his leadership will surely be missed 
because he led by example and has seen a lot of growth in our 
community. But incoming Chief Greg Weber now will surely be up to the 
task.
  On behalf of our entire Eden Prairie community, I want to thank Chief 
DeMann for his service to the entire Eden Prairie community, and I wish 
him all the best in his retirement.
