 MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR DEPUTY THERESA SUE KING, DEPUTY PATRICK THOMAS 
                 ROHRER, AND ALL FALLEN POLICE OFFICERS

  (Mr. YODER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YODER. Mr. Speaker, there are no words to describe the tragedy 
that occurred in my district in Kansas last week. Two Wyandotte County 
deputies, Theresa Sue King and Patrick Thomas Rohrer, lost their lives 
while transporting an inmate for a court hearing on Friday.
  This is, tragically, not the first time in recent history that law 
enforcement men and women in our community have made the ultimate 
sacrifice to keep the peace. We are reminded that we owe our police 
force, their deputies, and their loved ones a debt of great gratitude 
that we will never be able to repay.
  We pray for their families at this time, and we pray for Sheriff Ash, 
Kelli Bailiff, and Chief Ziegler as they lead their departments through 
this tragedy.
  Mr. Speaker, may God bless Deputy King and Deputy Rohrer. May they 
rest in peace.
  Mr. Speaker, along with our colleagues from Kansas, Ron Estes and I 
ask for a moment of silence for Deputy King and Deputy Rohrer and all 
of our fallen police officers.
