Mr. SOUDER (for himself and Mr. RUPPERSBERGER) submitted the following

Supporting the goals and ideals of Red Ribbon Week. 
Whereas the Red Ribbon Campaign was established to com-
memorate the service of Enrique ‘‘Kiki’’ Camarena, an 
11-year special agent of the Drug Enforcement Adminis-
tration who was murdered in the line of duty in 1985 
while engaged in the battle against illicit drugs; 
Whereas the Red Ribbon Campaign has been sponsored by 
the National Family Partnership and nationally recog-
nized since 1988 to preserve Special Agent Camarena’s 
memory and further the cause for which he gave his life, 
and is now the oldest and largest drug prevention pro-

trary testing procedures which too often prevented Afri-
can-Americans from being promoted; 
Whereas Marie Johnson’s advocacy paved the way for more 
African-American appointments as Officers and Ser-
geants on the United States Capitol Police Department 
and the appointment of the first African-American In-
spector, Fentress A. Hickman, who was later appointed 
to Deputy Chief; 
Whereas Marie Johnson was honored by the Black Police As-
sociation after 20 years of service with a plaque com-
memorating her distinguished service; 
Whereas Marie Johnson struggled as a working mother and 
at times employed assistance from her colleagues when 
she was a young mother working the night shift for the 
United States Capitol Police Department; 
Whereas, in February 2007, Marie Johnson retired from ac-
tive duty after 32 years of faithful, honorable, and distin-
guished service to the United States Capitol Police De-
partment; and 
Whereas Marie Johnson is the proud grandmother of a 
granddaughter, Mikayla Powell, to whom she is as de-
voted as she was to her duties as the first woman uni-
formed officer to the United States Capitol Police De-
partment: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives com-
mends Arva ‘‘Marie’’ Johnson for her distinguished career 
of service to the United States Capitol Police Department
