                       Wednesday, April 21, 1999

  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize a young man 
dedicated to a career of service and protection. On March 26, 1999, 
Commander Charles Austin Baker of the Commerce City Police Department, 
Commerce City, CO., graduated from the 196th session of the FBI 
National Academy in Quantico, Virginia.
  Each year the FBI National Academy selects several of our nation's 
top law enforcement officers to participate in an extensive 11-week 
training program. Throughout this training, particular emphasis is 
placed on leadership development. Courses in the program relate to 
Police management, Behavioral Science, Criminal Law, Law enforcement, 
Communication Arts, Forensic Science, and Health/Fitness. After 
Graduation, they expect that these officers will be prepared to assume 
even greater responsibilities and pass on to others the benefits of 
their advanced training.

  Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to congratulate Commander Baker and 
all of the FBI National Academy graduates. With confidence, I look 
forward to their leadership in America.
