      IN RECOGNITION OF THE RETIREMENT OF SERGEANT IRWIN ROSENBERG

  (Mr. CARDENAS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CARDENAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my friend, Sergeant 
Irwin Rosenberg of the San Fernando Police Department as he prepares to 
retire with a distinguished and honorable career as police commander 
next month.
  Sergeant Rosenberg is a staple in our community, and he has dedicated 
his life to public service for more than 40 years. He has served as a 
board member and advocate for many charitable and professional 
organizations, such as the Special Olympics of Southern California.
  He has brought joy to children for many years, as he played Santa 
Clause for local organizations.
  Sergeant Rosenberg will say it was his childhood dream to become a 
police officer, and he did that and achieved it in his late forties.
  At the age of 49, he graduated first in his class from the Rio Hondo 
Police Academy, and he joined the San Fernando Police Department.
  He wears his passion for public safety and service on his sleeve. He 
spearheaded the reestablishment of the Neighborhood and Business Watch 
programs and the city of San Fernando's National Night Out.
  In his exemplary career, he has come to benefit many in the Northeast 
San Fernando Valley and throughout the entire State. Today, we 
celebrate his 20 years of service in the city of San Fernando.
  I thank Sergeant Rosenberg for his leadership and dedication to our 
community, and I wish him enjoyment of his family in his retirement.
