   RECOGNIZING BLAIR COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES CHRISTOPHER HANNA AND 
                             BRANDON LASURE

  (Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Blair County Deputy Sheriffs Christopher Hanna and Brandon Lasure.
  It is because of their quick thinking and rush to action to stop the 
effects of an overdose that a Blair County woman is still alive today.
  Deputy Hanna and Deputy Lasure followed their training to the letter, 
being aware of the signs and symptoms of an opioid overdose these 
sheriff's deputies did not hesitate to step up and helped to save a 
human being.
  Upon recognizing that the woman had become unresponsive, the deputies 
immediately called for an ambulance and delivered the appropriate doses 
of naloxone, a lifesaving drug designed to reverse the effects of an 
opioid overdose.
  On behalf of the people of Blair County and Pennsylvania's 13th 
Congressional District, I am grateful for these sheriff's deputies and 
their tireless work to serve our community.
