                          MOTORCYCLE PROFILING

  (Mr. BURGESS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, as co-chair of the Congressional Motorcycle

[[Page H2786]]

Caucus, I am committed to advocating for riders both on and off the 
road.
  This week, Congressman Tim Walberg and I will reintroduce a 
resolution highlighting motorcycle profiling. This resolution 
recognizes motorcyclists' importance to their communities and promotes 
collaboration between motorcyclists and law enforcement.
  We introduced this resolution in a previous Congress, and its Senate 
companion was passed in December of last year.
  Mr. Speaker, more than 27 million Americans are estimated to operate 
a motorcycle, annually, representing 9 percent of the population, yet 
motorcyclists account for a significant portion of road accidents and 
road injuries. That is why I co-chair the Congressional Motorcycle 
Caucus: to support riders through education and awareness.
  Together, we can make travel safer for all motorists in general and 
motorcyclists in particular. This first week of spring, I look forward 
to continued engagement on motorcycle safety and awareness.
  Remember: Share the road.
