            RECOGNIZING OKANOGAN COUNTY SHERIFF FRANK ROGERS

  (Mr. NEWHOUSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, today, on National Law Enforcement 
Appreciation Day, I rise to honor Frank Rogers, who has served the 
public in his role as Okanogan County sheriff for the past 16 years. In 
his own words, Sheriff Rogers ``bleeds cop.''
  He spent the past three decades in the northern part of my district 
working to improve his community and promoting camaraderie among 
different law enforcement agencies. From solving burglaries and violent 
crime cases to helping evacuate those affected by devastating 
wildfires, Frank has been dedicated to his friends and neighbors. Also 
known as Sheriff Batman, he acted as a superhero for the people of 
Okanogan County.
  Sheriff Rogers signed off for the last time on December 31, and I 
know he is excited to spend more time with his wife, Minette, and his 
family. I urge my colleagues to join me in congratulating him on a 
successful career and wishing him all the best in the future.
