                    RECOGNIZING NATIONAL POLICE WEEK

  (Mrs. STEEL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mrs. STEEL. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to recognize National Police 
Week.
  Our police officers put their lives on the line every single day they 
go to work. They answer the call of duty on holidays, weekends, 
birthdays, and through the COVID-19 pandemic to selflessly protect our 
communities.
  When I was chair of the Orange County Board of Supervisors, I 
introduced a resolution to recognize Law Enforcement Appreciation Day 
in Orange County because now, more than ever, we owe these brave 
officers our support and appreciation.
  I am especially grateful for our Capitol Police officers who have 
been through so much this year with the devastating loss of multiple 
officers in the line of duty.
  Thank you to all police officers for your continued bravery. I and so 
many others are proud to stand with you today and every day.
