                    RECOGNIZING SHERIFF RANDY RETTER

  (Mr. SHREVE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SHREVE. Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of the outstanding 
leadership of Sheriff Randy Retter, who dedicated 37 years of law 
enforcement experience to my district in Wayne County.
  Over that career, Sheriff Retter has worked tirelessly, holding 
positions of ever-increasing responsibility, beginning as a road patrol 
officer before being ultimately elected sheriff of Wayne County and 
having served as president of the Indiana Sheriffs' Association.
  It was as sheriff that Mr. Retter met with the U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection to diligently detain illegal criminal migrants, 
making the Sixth District far safer for Hoosiers to live and work in.
  It was this past Tuesday in the joint session that I had the 
privilege of hosting Sheriff Retter as my guest for the President's 
joint address to Congress. It was our first. We shared that experience 
together.
  It was there that the President reaffirmed his steadfast support for 
our Nation's law enforcement officers and their vital work to protect 
our communities.
