                          Monday, June 9, 2008

  Mrs. TAUSCHER. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Police Sergeant 
Timothy P. Grace who faithfully served the residents of the city of 
Fairfield for 31 years.
  Sergeant Grace began his service with the Fairfield Police Department 
on September 27, 1975, where he worked in several capacities including 
drunk driving enforcement grants, the traffic unit, patrol, 
investigations and the training and communications unit. Sergeant Grace 
continued to serve as a defensive tactics instructor as well as a field 
training officer.
  Sergeant Grace earned his well-deserved promotion to the position of 
police sergeant in 2000. He worked as a valiant leader in both the 
patrol and the professional standards unit, where his dedication to 
these units made a valuable impact on the operations of the overall 
department.
  Sergeant Grace evidenced a commitment to his community on a daily 
basis. He served as a loyal representative of the law and is admired by 
his community for his hard work, dedication and positive influence on 
the entire department.

                       SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS

  Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, agreed to by the Senate on February 
4, 1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized 
schedule of all meetings and hearings of Senate committees, 
subcommittees, joint committees, and committees of conference. This 
title requires all such committees to notify the Office of the Senate 
Daily Digest--designated by the Rules Committee--of the time, place, 
and purpose of the meetings, when scheduled, and any cancellations or 
changes in the meetings as they occur.
  As an additional procedure along with the computerization of this 
information, the Office of the Senate Daily Digest will prepare this 
information for printing in the Extensions of Remarks section of the 
Congressional Record on Monday and Wednesday of each week.
  Meetings scheduled for Tuesday, June 10, 2008 may be found in the 
Daily Digest of today's Record.
