         RECOGNIZING NATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT APPRECIATION DAY

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day.
  National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day is an opportunity for 
citizens to recognize the difficult and sometimes impossible jobs 
police officers have chosen to do.
  There is no doubt that morale across law enforcement in our country 
has decreased due to negative public sentiment over the last few years.
  However, our selfless public servants have not let that deter them 
from doing their jobs.
  To have a strong police force, the officers must know that their 
communities support the work that they are doing.
  That is why I am proud to recognize our men and women in uniform.
  I encourage everyone in the First Congressional District to go above 
and beyond today and every day to show their appreciation to our law 
enforcement. They are the best among us and deserve our unwavering 
support.
