                    HONORING OFFICER RODNEY JOHNSON

  (Mr. AL GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I thank God for our peace 
officers; and I especially thank God for Officer Rodney Johnson, who 
will be laid to rest today.
  On Thursday he left the comfort and safety of his home so we might be 
safe in our homes. On Thursday, he put his life at risk so that our 
lives would not be at risk. On Thursday, he sacrificed his life so that 
we might have a better life.
  A wife has lost a husband, children have lost their father, humanity 
has lost a great humanitarian.
  Thank God for peace officer Rodney Johnson. May he rest in peace.
