                    RECOGNIZING NATIONAL POLICE WEEK

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize May 13 through 19 as 
National Police Week. This week is a special time to honor the law 
enforcement officers who gave their lives in the line of duty 
protecting our communities.
  Last Sunday, 360 of those brave men and women were added to the 
number of fallen law enforcement heroes on the National Law Enforcement 
Officers Memorial. Their sacrifice is not forgotten, and their families 
remain in our prayers during this week of remembrance.
  We are blessed to live in a country founded on the rule of law, and 
this cherished principle would not be preserved without our Nation's 
dedicated law enforcement officers.
  This week, we also show our gratitude to the 900,000 sworn law 
enforcement officers who put their lives on the line daily for our 
safety. Thanks for all you do.
