minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the city of 
Murray, Kentucky, home of Murray State University, for its recent 
distinction as one of the top 50 safest college towns in America. 
Murray is a beacon of educational excellence and is an invaluable asset 
to the First Congressional District of Kentucky.
  Through analysis of violent crime rates across the Nation, SafeWise, 
a safety-focused consumer research firm, found that Murray exhibited 
exceptionally low crime rates. This finding further highlights an 
already notable community in my district.
  I applaud the work Murray has done to achieve this recognition and 
commend Murray State University on the collegial environment it has 
developed for its more than 8,000 students. When students come to 
Murray State, they not only join the academic community, but they also 
become citizens of the entire Murray family.
  Once again, I congratulate the residents and leaders of Murray on 
this award and urge them to continue their tradition of excellence.
