                         RECOGNIZING STEVE COX

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. SAM GRAVES

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 13, 2003

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Steve Cox, an 
exceptional gentleman who has exemplified the finest qualities of 
citizenship and leadership in his work as the sheriff of Livingston 
County, Missouri, and with the Elks Lodge 656 of Chillicothe.
  This year, Steve is being honored with the Outstanding Achievements 
Award as the Elk's citizen of the year. Steve is truly an asset to 
crime fighting in Northwest Missouri. Under his leadership, his 
department has received the Missouri State Deputy Sheriff of the Year 
Award two years in a row.
  When Steve is not working relentlessly as the sheriff, he spends his 
spare time in internet chat rooms searching for sexual predators. To 
date, he has brought over a dozen to justice.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Steve Cox for 
his many important contributions to Northwest Missouri Officers, the 
Elks Lodge 656 of Chillicothe, his community and the 6th District of 
Missouri.
