  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, National Night Out is an annual 
community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships 
and neighborhood camaraderie in order to make our neighborhoods safer. 
The City of Bulverde, which is located in the 21st Congressional 
District in Texas, facilitates National Night Out as a unique 
opportunity to join with thousands of other communities across the 
country in promoting cooperative, police-community crime prevention 
efforts.
   Congratulations to the City of Bulverde as it marks its 11th 
consecutive year participating in this important event with the 
Bulverde Police Department. Each year, community participation has 
increased. In 2015, Bulverde placed 2nd in Texas in the National Night 
Out Awards Program and 14th in the U.S. in their population category.
   Thanks go to the citizens of Bulverde as they join the Bulverde 
Police Department and the National Association of Town Watch in 
supporting the Annual National Night Out on October 4, 2016. These 
efforts keep our communities, and our citizens, more safe and secure.
