              CONTINUING PRAYERS FOR DEPUTY BRAD SULLIVAN

  (Mr. GUEST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUEST. Madam Speaker, on September 5, 2019, the Madison County 
Sheriff's Department responded to a hostage situation near Canton, 
Mississippi.
  Upon arrival, the suspect fled and led deputies on a high-speed chase 
throughout the northeastern part of the county before spike strips were 
deployed to stop the suspect's vehicle. Once immobilized, the suspect 
began to fire on deputies, striking two officers.
  Deputy Brad Sullivan was shot multiple times as he arrived on the 
scene and was later transported to the University of Mississippi 
Medical Center. Deputy Sullivan remains in serious condition as our 
community unites with prayer, donations, and medical skill to save the 
life of this brave officer.
  On behalf of Mississippi's Third Congressional District, I would like 
to extend my sincerest gratitude and respect for Deputy Sullivan, the 
other deputies who responded, and the entire Madison County Sheriff's 
Department.
  We ask all Mississippians to continue to pray for Brad's recovery and 
for God's hand of protection on all our law enforcement officers.
