                RESPECT FOR AMERICA'S FALLEN HEROES ACT

  (Mrs. BLACKBURN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to draw to the attention of 
the House H.R. 5037. This is the Respect For America's Fallen Heroes 
Act, and I would like to encourage each Member of this body to join me 
and my colleagues in this act. What it is going to do is to put in 
place criteria that will prohibit a person from carrying out 
demonstrations at the funeral of one of our fallen heroes.
  We are going to have a press conference, Mr. Speaker, at 2:30 today 
to talk more about this, and I want to commend my colleagues, 
Representative Rogers from Michigan, our Veterans Affairs' Committee 
Chairman, Mr. Buyer of Indiana, Mr. Chabot of Ohio, Mr. Wilson of South 
Carolina, Mr. Carter of Texas, and Mr. Garrett of New Jersey for 
joining with me on this piece of legislation and for joining to honor 
the members of the Patriot Guard Riders, who stand with our families to 
honor our fallen heroes.
