“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to wish a happy 50th anniversary to the Federal Protective Service. I thank the 1,400 members of FPS, the men and women who protect the more than 9,500 Federal facilities, and the 1.4 million employees who work in those buildings on a daily basis. All too often, you only gain attention when tragedy strikes, whether it is the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing or, just last year, bravely defending the Federal courthouse in Portland. I wish to remind Americans that it is every day that they are there holding the line. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to tell you we are thankful and we are appreciative of their service, and their commitment to keeping our Nation safe. Mr. Speaker, I thank the members of the FPS and I wish them a happy 50th anniversary. ____________________”
