  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Madam Speaker, it is an honor to include in the 
Record, the heartwarming story of Officer Rory Babineaux. A 16-year 
veteran of the Farmers Branch Police Department, Officer Baineaux was 
dispatched to a welfare concern call from the neighbor of an eighty-
year-old resident concerned about the lady's health and safety.
  When Officer Babineaux arrived on the scene to find although she was 
in good health, her air conditioner and plumbing were not working. 
Instead of passing the case off to others, he took it upon himself to 
contact local businesses like Right Choice Heating and Air and Metro 
North Plumbing, who found it in their hearts to waive all costs.
  This story not only speaks volumes for the type of community Farmers 
Branch is, but more importantly the dedication Officer Babineaux has 
put into the people he has served over the last 16 years. I thank 
Officer Babineaux, his actions inspire me to serve TX-24 as he has.
