                 LEXINGTON POLICE CHIEF ANTHANY BEATTY

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I rise today to honor and pay 
tribute to one of Kentucky's finest law enforcement officers. Lexington 
Police Chief Anthany Beatty has been recognized as Eastern Kentucky 
University's Outstanding Alumnus for 2003 and was inducted into EKU's 
Hall of Distinguished Alumni.
  Chief Beatty's commitment to excellence has not only honored the 
Lexington police force where he has served since 1973 but also his alma 
mater, Eastern Kentucky University. A 1978 graduate of EKU, Beatty 
credits his success in law enforcement to the undergraduate work he 
completed while majoring in police administration. The obstacles Beatty 
overcame as a student would prepare him for the challenges faced by the 
Lexington police force.
  Included in the recognition to Anthany Beatty's rise to chief of 
police, which he was selected for in August of 2001, is his family. The 
relentless years of love and support that Anthany's wife Eunice and 
their two sons, Embry and Anthany, Jr., have shown provided Anthany 
with the stability and stature necessary to meet the high demands of 
police work. His family's support and his spirituality

have made all the difference in his life and career.
  Chief Anthany Beatty's example should be followed by law enforcement 
officers throughout Kentucky. The citizens of Lexington are fortunate 
to call Anthany Beatty one of their own. They should be privileged to 
be served by such a fine officer. Congratulations, Anthany. And may God 
bless you and your family.
