                 RECOGNIZING MISHAWAKA POLICE OFFICERS

  Mr. LUGAR. Madam President, I rise to share with the Senate the 
efforts of Corporal Thomas Roberts and Patrolman Bryan Verkler, of the 
Mishawaka Police Department, Mishawaka, IN, who gave their lives in the 
line of duty on December 13, 2003.
   Corporal Roberts was a 14-year veteran of the force. Patrolman 
Verkler had completed nearly 2\1/2\ years of service. Both men are 
survived by their families.
   At this difficult time, my thoughts and prayers are with these men 
and their families.
