HON. RON PAUL
OF TEXAS
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

1998 Ron Paul 80:1
Mr. PAUL.
Mr. Speaker, when we go on the
August break I will attend a number of events
back in my district and one which I will be very
proud to attend will be the Matagorda County
100 Club Awards banquet. This group provides
assistance to the families of law enforcement
personnel who are slain on the job.
1998 Ron Paul 80:2
I can think of no better example of how people
can freely work together to provide assistance
to those who are in need, and who are
most deserving of the help of their neighbors. Officers slain in duty give their lives to protect
the liberties of the citizens. Our Nation has a
strong tradition of local law enforcement, a tradition
which would fail without the courage and
willingness of men and women to put their
lives on the line by working as state and local
law enforcement agents.
1998 Ron Paul 80:3
Once again, Mr. Speaker, I want to take this
opportunity to commend the 100 Clubs and
the brave men and women who serve as local
law enforcement agents.
