             HONORING NEW YORK STATE TROOPER NICHOLAS CLARK

  (Mr. REED asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and remember the life of 
New York State Trooper Nicholas Clark. A lifelong resident of Steuben 
County and a star football player from my alma mater, Alfred 
University, Nick Clark honorably served his community and the State of 
New York as a New York State trooper. Since 2015, he has protected the 
people that he called his friends and neighbors.
  Trooper Clark put his life on the line every day to serve his 
community. In the early morning of Monday, July 2, 2018, Trooper Clark 
responded to a call in the town of Erwin and was shot and killed in the 
line of duty.
  Mr. Speaker, he is truly a hero for his actions and the sacrifices he 
made for all of us. Trooper Clark will be missed by the communities 
that he served and the lives that he touched. Together we stand with 
his family and friends as they mourn.
  I thank him for his service to our community and for his bravery. I 
pray he rests in peace.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask this legislative body to pause its deliberations 
and join me in remembering and honoring the 29-year life of Trooper 
Nicholas Clark.
