     MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR LIVES LOST IN NORTH CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memoriam of those who lost 
their lives in the horrific wildfires that have once again plagued 
Northern California this fire season.
  In what is known as the McKinney fire in Siskiyou County, we lost 
four of our neighbors: Kathleen Shoopman, who was 73; Charles Kays, 79; 
Judith Kays, 82; and John Cogan, 76--all sadly lost their lives in this 
fire.
  Yet, another fire, also in Siskiyou County, known as the Mill fire, 
two women, ages 66 and 73--whose names have not been publicly revealed 
yet--sadly lost their lives, as well.
  Season after season, our constituents are subject to fire danger. Our 
prayers are with the families and the souls of those that we have lost 
this season.
  Mr. Speaker, I would ask for a moment of silence from the House.
