On the recordApril 16, 1996
I submit a Senate resolution to designate the week of May 5, 1996 as ``National Correctional Officers and Employees Week.'' Mr. President, this resolution is a small gesture to recognize the vital role that correctional personnel play in our communities. Correctional officers and employees put their lives on the line every day to protect the public from dangerous criminals. These brave men and women also protect incarcerated individuals from the violence of their circumstance, and they help prisoners work toward returning to lawful society. I urge my colleagues to join with me to recognize the indispensable contributions of our Nation's correctional officers and employees.
