                    HONORING MONTANA POLICE OFFICERS

  (Mr. ROSENDALE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSENDALE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Montana's police 
force for National Police Week. Montana law enforcement officers put 
their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe and 
protect those who cannot protect themselves.
  They don't do it for money. They don't do it for recognition. They do 
it because they feel called to protect those around them.
  The absence of law enforcement means our communities are less safe, 
enables crime to surge, and thugs will roam the streets freely without 
consequence.
  I stand here tonight to say thank you to the Montana police officers 
for their sacrifices and for willingly putting their lives on the line 
to protect our neighborhoods.
  Without reservation, I back the blue and will continue to do 
everything I can to get them the resources they need to do their jobs 
and keep America safe.
