           IN RECOGNITION OF DETECTIVE TIM HAYES AND K9 REMY

  (Mr. LAWLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LAWLER. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize Detective Tim 
Hayes and K9 Remy, the first certified electronics detection dog in 
Rockland County history.
  Remy is a 1-year-old black lab, named after Welles Remy Crowther, a 
Nyack native known as the man in the red bandana, who selflessly gave 
his life saving as many as 18 lives on September 11, 2001.
  Welles Remy Crowther was a hero, and I am glad that the Rockland 
County District Attorney's Office recognized him in this way.
  Remy and Tim work at the Rockland County District Attorney's Office, 
where they are tasked with identifying laptops, cell phones, SD cards, 
and USB drives that contain illegal content at crime scenes.
  Tim is a former U.S. Army paratrooper and veteran of Operation 
Enduring Freedom. Following his service in the military, he joined the 
NYPD, working his way up to the rank of detective before joining the 
Rockland County District Attorney's Office.
  On this 23rd anniversary of September 11, we remember and honor 
Welles Remy Crowther, and I thank Tim and Remy for their service.
