                         Tuesday, June 5, 2018

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Officers Dustin 
Garcia and Matthew Newport of Katy, TX for receiving recognition for 
their efforts to go ``Above & Beyond.''
  On April 10th, Matthew and Dustin responded to a major car accident 
at Avenue D and 10th Street in Katy and then proceeded to perform CPR 
on a female injured until firefighters could arrive on scene. The 
officers are credited with saving the young woman's life and are true 
heroes to their community. On May 14th, Katy Mayor Chuck Brawner 
presented the officers with ``Above & Beyond'' recognition for their 
actions. Matthew has worked 2 years for the Katy Police Department. He 
previously served as an officer in Sugar Land and Eagle Lake. Dustin 
has been an officer in the Katy area for over 2\1/2\ years and holds no 
prior police experience. These two men are a true inspiration to their 
community and serve as an example to all of us.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Dustin and Matthew for earning this well-
deserved award. I thank them for their service to our community.
