       SALUTE TO MARK MARSHALL, CARSON CITY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT

  (Mr. GIBBONS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GIBBONS. Madam Speaker, as Congress prepares to debate the 
juvenile crime legislation next week, I would like to highlight the 
extraordinary efforts of an individual in the State of Nevada.
  Mark Marshall, of the Carson City Sheriff's Department, was honored 
this week by the Carson City International Rotary Club as Law 
Enforcement Officer of the year because he established a proactive 
campaign of gang suppression for the city and the Sheriff's Department. 
These results have been recognized nationwide and have greatly 
benefited the troubled youths in the area.
  As a Vietnam veteran, he courageously served his country overseas and 
now serves the people back home in the State of Nevada. In an era where 
brainstorming runs rampant on how to curb gang violence, Mark has 
stepped to the forefront to take on this difficult task.
  His nearly 15 years of service to the people of Carson City has 
earned him this prestigious award. Along with his colleagues and the 
public he serves, I extend my best wishes and congratulations to this 
fine peace officer, his wife, Jennifer, and their two daughters, 
Elizabeth and Sarah.
  Mark, we are all proud of your accomplishments.
