                      HONORING OFFICER LLOYD REED

  (Mr. ROTHFUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROTHFUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life, legacy, and 
work of Officer Lloyd Reed, Jr., who will be remembered for his kind 
and helpful nature. Officer Reed, a St. Clair Township, Pennsylvania, 
police officer, was tragically shot and killed last Saturday, November 
28, while responding to a domestic dispute.
  A graduate of Conemaugh Township High School, he was an avid trout 
fisherman and a NASCAR and, of course, a Steelers fan.
  Officer Reed courageously served his community as a law enforcement 
officer for 25 years before his life was taken. I offer my prayers and 
deepest condolences to his loved ones: his friends, his colleagues, and 
his wife.
  All men and women who serve to protect us from harm deserve our 
deepest gratitude and respect. They choose to risk their lives so that 
the rest of us can lead peaceful, productive, and meaningful lives.
  Officer Reed's life and death are a testament to all those who serve 
honorably as law enforcement officers.
