HONORING ALLEGHENY POLICE DETECTIVE LAWRENCE CARPICO AND SARAH DEIULIIS

  (Mr. TIM MURPHY of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TIM MURPHY of Pennsylvania. In Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania, a 
town in my congressional district, Allegheny Police Detective Lawrence 
Carpico saved the life of 16-year-old Sarah Deiuliis, a victim of a 
school acquaintance, on October 31, 2007. Sarah had been lured into the 
woods by someone she considered a friend. When the young man attacked 
her with a hammer, she fended off her attacker and ran luckily into the 
path of Detective Carpico who happened upon the couple while walking a 
dog. Detective Carpico, who was off duty at the time, acted decisively 
and ushered the girl to safety and called for the assistance of on-duty 
officers and medics. For his actions, he will be presented with the 
Mount Lebanon Police Department's Chief's Award.
  Likewise, let's recognize Sarah, who displayed extraordinary courage 
in the face of extreme danger. She fought back against her attacker 
using intelligence and quick thinking. For this, she will be recognized 
with the Survivor Award.
  It is a great honor to represent such courageous citizens and to 
present their story in this Chamber, and I commend both for their 
actions.
