TITUS MOUNTAIN
(Ms. STEFANIK asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, last year my district was the home of a
manhunt that captured the attention of the entire Nation.
For almost a month, local, State, and Federal law enforcement agents
and corrections officers made Franklin County, New York, their home as
they searched for two killers who had escaped from the Clinton
Correctional Facility.
Titus Mountain is a family ski area in the Adirondacks that became a
part of law enforcement history as the main staging area for this
intensive manhunt. I visited this past August and saw firsthand the
facilities that were provided to these law enforcement agents by the
Monette family.
This weekend, Titus Mountain is hosting a special event for the brave
men and women who were involved in the search for these killers. It is
to say thank you for their help in protecting our community.
Mr. Speaker, I rise to thank these law enforcement agents and
corrections officers who risked their safety to protect the families in
our community and to thank Titus Mountain for hosting this event.
