                REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF DEPUTY JAMES LEE

  (Mr. WEBER of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the life of 
one Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Deputy James Lee, who tragically

Jefferson County Sheriff's Office in 1973 and was 71 years old when he 
passed.
  He was known as someone who enjoyed going to work to protect his 
community and who was tough but always showed compassion. He leaves 
behind a wife and a son, who will follow in his father's footsteps at 
the sheriff's office.
  Though he may be gone, I know that Deputy Lee is still watching over 
his beloved community and family.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the extraordinary life and 
service of one Deputy James Lee.
  He will be missed.
