         TRIBUTE TO UNITED STATES CAPITOL POLICE CHIEF KIM DINE

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, this weekend U.S. Capitol Police Chief 
Kim Dine will retire his badge and say goodbye to the Senate after 
several decades of law enforcement service, including more than three 
right here in the Capitol.
  Chief Dine was police chief in a nearby Maryland suburb when he first 
came to this position in December of 2012. You could say the 
appointment was a bit of a homecoming for him given that Chief Dine 
began his more than 40 years in law enforcement with the DC 
Metropolitan Police Department. He served there for 27 years and rose 
through the ranks, eventually becoming assistant chief of police.
  I know it is never easy to leave the Capitol, but you have to imagine 
Chief Dine has a lot to look forward to in retirement. After all, this 
is a guy who has been known to get into the office before the sun rises 
and leave after it sets. Most would need some rest after so many years 
of that kind of schedule.
  So here is what we would like to say: The Senate appreciates Chief 
Dine's willingness to serve our country. And after nearly four decades 
in law enforcement, we wish him all the best in his retirement.
