                         Tuesday, July 11, 2023

  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Nation's community 
supervision professionals, who are dedicated public servants and 
perform many vital roles in their work with justice-involved adults and 
juveniles. They identify opportunities and services to help individuals 
successfully contribute to society, while holding them accountable for 
their actions. They remain mindful of their role in protecting public 
safety.
  In honor of Pretrial, Probation and Parole Supervision Week 2023, we 
salute all those who have chosen this important career. In the District 
of Columbia, we especially thank the employees of the Court Services 
and Offender Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia (CSOSA) 
and the Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia (PSA) for 
their service. CSOSA and PSA are models of excellence in community 
supervision. Their work reflects the theme of Pretrial, Probation and 
Parole Supervision Week 2023, ``Stronger Together.''
  Community supervision agencies are valuable partners of other 
government agencies, nonprofits, neighborhood-based groups and all who 
strive to make our nation safer and stronger. We extend our gratitude 
to them and encourage all people to recognize their many achievements 
as we proclaim July 16-22, 2023, Pretrial, Probation and Parole 
Supervision Week 2023.
