                       HONORING BERNELL TRAMMELL

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise in honor of the great Bernell 
Trammell of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who owned eXpressions Journal 
Publications, which was located on 915 East Wright Street.
  Bernell Trammell was an avid reader and a very religious man who 
liked people. He graduated from Lincoln High School in Milwaukee.
  Last July 23, he was shot dead carrying a sign for Donald Trump.
  I would like to ask the city of Milwaukee to dial up the 
investigation for the murder of Bernell Trammell. I believe it is a 
shame in Milwaukee that when someone--one of few people--stands up and 
announces by a sign that he is voting for Donald Trump that he would be 
shot dead.
  He was an iconoclast, he was a very spiritual man delving in 
different religions, and he was all over the political spectrum as far 
as the people he endorsed. But while he was carrying a Donald Trump 
sign, he was shot down last July 23.
  I beg the city of Milwaukee to do something about this horrible 
crime.
