          HONORING SHERIFF TOM BOSENKO FOR 40 YEARS OF SERVICE

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Madam Speaker, I rise tonight to honor a good friend and 
a great leader in Shasta County, Sheriff Tom Bosenko, who served 40 
years with the Shasta County Sheriff's Office, 14 years as sheriff.
  He has worked in nearly every division of the sheriff's office, 
including patrol operations, school resource officer, SWAT, antigang 
enforcement, and the canine unit. Importantly, he was at the helm of 
the sheriff's office when the historic Carr fire hit last year. I can't 
thank him enough for keeping order and calm in directing people in a 
positive fashion during that time.
  Madam Speaker, he is a four-time recipient of the Best in the North 
State's Best Elected Official award.
  He has worn his badge with honor, never backing down from what needs 
to be done and shouldering the burden of keeping the community safe. I 
saw him everywhere I went during my time visiting around in the 
district there. He is a community guy.
  Madam Speaker, as a motorcycle lover, I think Tom will ride his 
Harley-Davidson right into retirement. He is, in retirement, still a 
fierce defender of our Second Amendment rights.
  Madam Speaker, I thank Tom for his unwavering service to the 
community, the people of the north State, and his example. He will be 
missed, certainly, but I know his successor, Sheriff Eric Magrini, will 
do well under Tom's tutelage. I appreciate him, and may God bless him.
