         HONORING TYLER G. BROWN ON BECOMING A PUBLISHED AUTHOR

  (Ms. SALINAS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. SALINAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Tyler G. Brown, an 
author and constituent from Dallas, Oregon.
  Not only is Tyler an author, but he is also a corporal with the 
Grande Ronde Tribal Police Department.
  Late last year, Tyler published his first book, ``Tribal Honor.'' His 
story is an inspiring one. This is actually the third novel he has 
written, as the first two did not make it into print. However, the 
setback did not stop him from realizing his dream of becoming a 
published author.
  In his debut novel, Tyler blends his experience as a law enforcement 
officer with his passion for thrillers, mystery, and action-packed 
fiction novels. Unsurprisingly, his first novel quickly climbed the 
crime action fiction charts.
  Every year, the Readers' Favorite International Book Award contest 
announces the top books in a variety of categories, and this year they 
had a record amount of entries. The contest showcases thousands of 
authors from around the world, and ``Tribal Honor'' won the gold medal 
in the action-fiction category.
  As the daughter of a police officer, I know firsthand the challenges 
that come with being in law enforcement.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to let Tyler know how grateful I am for his 
dedication to keeping the Grande Ronde Tribe safe and how pleased I am 
to see his novel get the recognition it deserves. I thank him for 
inspiring people and showing them that they should always chase their 
dreams. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to him and his family. He 
has made Oregon's Sixth District immensely proud.
