                      Wednesday, November 28, 2001

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Sergeant Wesley 
R. Calloway of the Jersey City Police Department for his years of 
distinguished service on behalf of the citizens of Jersey City, NJ. 
Sergeant Calloway will be honored at a special retirement ceremony on 
Thursday, November 29, 2001, to commemorate his 28 years as a Jersey 
City Police Officer. The ceremony will take place at Puccini's 
Restaurant in Jersey City, NJ.
  As an experienced veteran of the Jersey City Police Department, 
Sergeant Calloway has enjoyed a successful law enforcement career that 
included numerous awards and acclamations. During his extensive career, 
he has received a Commendation, two Class D Awards, and four Excellent 
Police Service Awards.
  A graduate of Snyder High School and the Teterboro School of 
Aeronautics, Sergeant Calloway also served honorably in the Jersey City 
Army National Guard from 1969 until 1975. While in the National Guard, 
he was the recipient of the Army Service Ribbon and the New Jersey Good 
Conduct Medal.
  Throughout his career, Sergeant Calloway has successfully balanced 
his professional responsibilities with his civic duties. He currently 
serves as a member of the New Jersey Police Honor Legion and is a Boy 
Scouts of America Troop Leader.
  Sergeant Calloway and his wife Vivian are the proud parents of their 
son Brandon.


  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Sergeant Wesley 
Calloway for his selfless and committed service on behalf of the 
residents of New Jersey's 13th Congressional District.
