                IN MEMORY OF DEPUTY SHERIFF SHELBY GREEN

  (Mr. HENSARLING asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, in the early morning hours of Thursday, 
May 15, Deputy Sheriff Shelby Green, of the Anderson County, Texas, 
Sheriff's Department, was brutally murdered in the line of duty by an 
unknown assailant.
  After attempting to stop a suspicious vehicle, Deputy Green pursued 
the assailant for 10 miles as bullets were smashing through his 
windshield. When the chase ended, Deputy Green was left dead with a 
fatal gunshot wound to his chest.
  A decorated law enforcement officer, last year Deputy Green received 
the Award of Valor from the Drug Enforcement Administration.
  Mr. Speaker, today we honor and mourn the loss of this 39-year-old 
hero, a family man. He served and protected our community with 
distinction and valor. Our most heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out 
to his family, his friends, his fellow deputies, especially to his 
wife, Diane, and their three sons, Steven, Trey, and Scott.
  May his killer be brought to justice and may God bless and keep 
Deputy Sheriff Shelby Green.
