                  RECOGNIZING OFFICER KYLE CUNNINGHAM

  (Mrs. SYKES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SYKES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Officer Kyle 
Cunningham from the Akron Police Department as the champion of the week 
for Ohio's 13th Congressional District.
  Officer Cunningham heroically saved a man's life who was attempting 
to jump over the side of the bridge. However, Officer Cunningham held 
on until he and another officer were able to pull the man over the 
railing.
  Officer Cunningham represents the very best of our dedicated law 
enforcement officers who answer the call to serve and dedicate 
themselves to protect members in our community.
  Through swift action and incredible bravery, Officer Cunningham was 
able to save a life and give this person a chance to receive the care 
and resources they need.
  We are grateful for Officer Cunningham's act of heroism and his 
continued service with the Akron Police Department and look to him as a 
leader in the birthplace of champions.
  Once again, on behalf of Ohio's 13th Congressional District, I offer 
congratulations and thanks to our champion of the week, Officer Kyle 
Cunningham.
