                          NATIONAL POLICE WEEK

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor our brave 
men and women in law enforcement as we celebrate their service during 
National Police Week.
  This week, we must acknowledge the dedication and sacrifices of those 
who serve our communities by honoring the fallen heroes who have paid 
the ultimate price.
  Madam Speaker, rural America has many challenges, and policing is 
among them because of underinvestment. That is why I am fighting to 
bring home nearly $3 million in support for the towns of Ayden, 
Elizabeth City, Plymouth, and Greenville to ensure they have the 
resources they need to safeguard our communities.
  I am also proud to cosponsor the bipartisan Invest to Protect Act 
which will provide critical investments to local police departments 
across eastern North Carolina to keep their officers and communities 
safe.
  Madam Speaker, I join the First Congressional District in extending 
my deepest gratitude to the men and women who protect our 
neighborhoods, respond to emergencies, and ensure public safety.
