On the recordDecember 8, 2014
Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise in support of H.R. 5562, which is sponsored by Representative Lois Capps of California, to designate the post office located at 801 West Ocean Avenue, in Lompoc, California, as the Federal Correctional Officer Scott J. Williams Memorial Post Office Building. Senior Officer Specialist Scott J. Williams was killed in the line of duty on April 3 of 1997. While performing routine supervision duties at the U.S. penitentiary in Lompoc, California, an inmate senselessly and brutally attacked Officer Williams, tragically taking his life. Officer Williams was a marine veteran, a former Marine of the Year, who served in Operation Desert Storm. He is survived by his wife and two daughters. I ask my colleagues to support H.R. 5562 and ensure that this fallen hero is never forgotten. I reserve the balance of my time.
