                          HONORING DAVID BROWN

  (Ms. CRAIG asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. CRAIG. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride that I come to the 
House floor today to honor my constituent, David Brown, from Shakopee, 
Minnesota, who was recently awarded the Carnegie Medal for an 
extraordinary act of heroism in our community.
  On May 26, 2019, two men began to struggle after entering the frigid 
water of the Gull River. They were trying to save their friend who was 
having trouble getting back to shore due to the strong current.
  Despite the risk to his own safety, David jumped into the water and 
successfully brought both men back to the shore while another saved 
their friend.
  It is so important that this heroic act be recognized here on the 
floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, and it is my honor to do 
so.
  Madam Speaker, I thank David for his outstanding commitment to our 
community and his life-saving action.
