The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“TRIBUTE TO CORPORAL SEAY-PETER FLOYD AND OFFICER NATALIE EUCCE” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the Senate section on pages S6623-S6624 on Nov. 9, 2020.
The Department is one of the oldest in the US, focused primarily on law enforcement and the federal prison system. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, detailed wasteful expenses such as $16 muffins at conferences and board meetings.

TRIBUTE TO CORPORAL SEAY-PETER FLOYD AND OFFICER NATALIE EUCCE
Mr. BOOZMAN. Madam President, I rise today to honor Fayetteville Police Department Corporal Seay-Peter Floyd and Officer Natalie Eucce for being awarded the Attorney General's Award for Distinguished Service in Policing by the U.S. Department of Justice.
This is a well-deserved honor for their dedication, sacrifice, and bravery they demonstrated on December 7, 2019, when a gunman, armed with 100 rounds of ammunition, targeted law enforcement. Tragically, Fayetteville Police Officer Stephen Carr was killed while sitting in a patrol vehicle in the police station's parking lot. Corporal Floyd courageously pursued the suspect and fired in order to stop the assailant. Officer Eucce joined in the pursuit and also fired her weapon. If not for their quick response, there could have been other victims.
This prestigious award is given to State and local law enforcement officers who personify excellence while protecting others. Only 23 members of the law enforcement community from across the country earned this honor this year. Corporal Floyd and Officer Eucce are the first Arkansans to receive this award.
Throughout their careers, Corporal Floyd and Officer Eucce have responded to calls for help while not knowing what challenges they will face. They are heroic public servants who courageously face danger head on. It takes a special person to put their life on the line every day to safeguard the public. Corporal Floyd and Officer Eucce represent the men and women who make a difference in our communities. I applaud their service and commitment to safety and the rule of law and congratulate them for receiving the fourth annual Attorney General's Award for Distinguished Service in Policing.
