  Mr. CUELLAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to publicly celebrate 30 
years of service in law enforcement by Chief Richard A. Jamison.
  Richard Jamison joined the Converse Police Department on August 23, 
1979. Within just 1 year, he was promoted to Corporal in Patrol. 
Through his hard work and dedication to the job of protecting the 
citizens of Converse, Mr. Jamison was promoted to Chief of Police on 
April 24, 1999.
  He has shown such a devotion to Converse that he does more than just 
act as Chief of Police; he also serves his community. Chief Jamison was 
voted citizen of the year by the Converse Lions Club 2003-2004, for his 
many service contributions to the community.
  He has also supported Project Graduation at Judson High School for 21 
years, to protect our high school graduates from the dangers of drunk 
driving. He has been instrumental in fundraising efforts to support 
this program.
  Madam Speaker, it is a great honor to recognize 30 years of service 
from Chief Richard A. Jamison. I am proud to be here today to publicly 
honor this great citizen of the 28th district of Texas.
