                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                       TRIBUTE TO DAVID C. BAILEY

 Ms. AYOTTE. Mr. President, today I recognize and congratulate 
Chief of Police David C. Bailey of the Bedford, NH, police department 
for his 40 years of dedicated service to the law enforcement 
profession, the town of Bedford, and the State of New Hampshire.
  Chief Bailey began his law enforcement career in 1971 as a patrol 
officer with the town of Bedford; was promoted to lieutenant in 1976; 
deputy chief in 1981; and as the chief of police in 1989. A native of 
Bedford, NH, Chief Bailey earned his bachelor's degree from the 
University of New Hampshire in 1969.
  During his long tenure as a police chief, David Bailey has been a 
leader in promoting community oriented-policing; in improving public 
safety within the State of New Hampshire; and in promoting sound public 
policies and practices, which have helped keep New Hampshire one of the 
safest States in the Nation. From 2002 to 2003, he served with 
distinction as the president of the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs 
of Police. Chief Bailey has worked tirelessly with New Hampshire 
legislators, and other public safety officials, to better the 
administration of justice.
  As Chief David Bailey celebrates his retirement, I commend him on a 
job well done, and ask my colleagues to join me in wishing him, his 
wife Susan, son Nathan, and daughter Jessica, well in all future 
endeavors.
