``Larry'' Cosme who is retiring from his post as the National President 
of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association after 27 years of 
service. Special Agent Cosme has honorably served his country working 
as the top Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer for both 
Washington, D.C. and Virginia. He is a hero we can all be proud of.
  The 27 years Special Agent Cosme has spent in law enforcement have 
been a gift to our nation and our communities. As the National 
President of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association Larry 
Cosme stood up for American police officers and fought to make sure 
they were properly trained and properly equipped for the difficult 
tasks they face. I am grateful for the work he has done and am proud to 
call him a 5th District Constituent.
  I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring Senior Special Agent 
Cosme and wish him a happy and restful retirement.
