  (Mr. MAZZOLI asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MAZZOLI. Mr. Speaker, last month, along with a big swathe of 
Eastern States, Kentucky, my home State, was dealt a very dangerous and 
almost lethal blow by the plunging temperatures that reached 22 degrees 
below zero in Louisville, and severe snows. We had 16 inches of snow, 
very much unusual in this century.
  As we so often find out, and have seen in Los Angeles, the very worst 
times brings out the very best in people. So to that extent, I would 
like to pay tribute today to the people at home and the organizations 
and groups which really distinguished themselves in the middle of all 
that weather problem.
  I cite specifically the employees of the Louisville Gas & Electric 
Co. and the Louisville Water Co., whose employees had to report to duty 
in the middle of the storm. The employees of the city of Louisville and 
the county of Jefferson, the Louisville Police, the county police, the 
Louisville Division of Fire, as well as the volunteer fire departments.
  Mr. Speaker, it is not likely that we will see many opportunities for 
these people to get the public notoriety that they deserve, but I would 
like to bring to everyone's attention the outstanding performance by 
these good people under those adverse conditions.
