  MOMENT OF SILENCE TO HONOR THE LIFE AND SERVICE OF CORPORAL TIMOTHY 
                             O'CONNOR, JR.

  (Ms. HOULAHAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. HOULAHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, joined by my colleagues from 
the Pennsylvania delegation, to honor the life and the service of 
Corporal Timothy O'Connor, Jr., a Pennsylvania State trooper and a 
proud member of our Chester County community.
  Corporal O'Connor wore the uniform of the Pennsylvania State Police 
for 15 years, serving the people of our Commonwealth. He was part of 
the brotherhood and sisterhood of troopers who run toward danger so 
that others can live in safety.
  Two weekends ago, while conducting a traffic stop in the line of 
duty, Corporal O'Connor was tragically shot and killed.
  Today we stand here together to honor his courage, his sacrifice, and 
his service. We hold his wife, Casey, their young daughter, and the 
entire Pennsylvania State Police family in our hearts.
  Mr. Speaker, please do join us for a moment of silence to honor the 
life of Corporal Timothy O'Connor.
