                      RECOGNIZING DR. CEDRIC DARK

  (Mrs. FLETCHER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. FLETCHER. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize the work of Dr. 
Cedric Dark, a board-certified emergency physician who serves people 
across Houston in a trauma center and who has just written his first 
book, ``Under the Gun: An ER Doctor's Cure for America's Gun 
Epidemic,'' published by Johns Hopkins University Press.
  As an emergency physician, Dr. Dark has witnessed the devastating 
impacts of gun violence in our community, and his experiences in the 
emergency room have motivated him to work to find policy solutions to 
reduce gun violence.
  ``Under the Gun'' reminds us that making public policy and keeping 
our communities safe are collaborative efforts that benefit from the 
wisdom, experience, and participation of many.
  While some people tell our doctors to stay in their lane, through 
this insightful and compelling work, Dr. Dark demonstrates that gun 
violence prevention is and must be all of our lane.
