                       Tuesday, January 27, 2015

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Deputy John 
McCord of the Fort Bend County Precinct 3 Constable's Office for being 
selected by the Houston 100 Club for the Officer of the Year Award. 
This award recognizes his extraordinary act of valor to protect the 
lives of residents of Fort Bend County.
  On June 27, 2014, Deputy McCord responded to a call reporting a child 
drowning in the Weston Lakes subdivision in Fulshear, Texas. Deputy 
McCord rescued the unconscious boy from the bottom of the lake and 
performed lifesaving CPR before a medical helicopter arrived to bring 
the child to the hospital. Thanks to officers like Deputy McCord, 
residents of Fort Bend County can rest assured that our police officers 
are dedicated to serving our community and keeping us safe.
  I thank Deputy John McCord for his courage and readiness to act in 
the line of duty. On behalf of the residents of the Twenty-Second 
Congressional of Texas, thank you and congratulations again to John for 
being selected to receive the Houston 100 Club's Officer of the Year 
Award.
