                        TRIBUTE TO STEVE JACKSON

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. GARY G. MILLER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 31, 2000

  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commend Steve 
Jackson for his hard work and dedication which have earned him the 
honor of Firefighter of the Year for the City of Montclair.
  Mr. Jackson was selected as Firefighter of the Year based on his 
dedication and perserverence in completing a very difficult paramedic 
certification program. The Montclair Fire Department does not currently 
have a paramedic program so Mr. Jackson completed his training during 
his personal time off using educational grant money. The certification 
required six months and a minimum of 1,032 hours to complete. As a 
member of the Montclair Fire Department's Emergency Medical Service 
(EMS) Committee, Mr. Jackson is now trying to bring a paramedic 
training program to Montclair.
  I commend Mr. Jackson for his desire to improve himself and be 
excellent in his work.
