                            LANCASTER HEROES

  (Mr. PITTS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTS. Mr. Speaker, today, I come to the floor to recognize two 
young heroes from Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
  Last week, a young 5-year-old girl, Jocelyn Rojas, was abducted from 
her front yard by a stranger, an older man, who turned out to be a 
previously convicted sex offender.
  The police and folks across the neighborhood quickly organized a 
search. Temar Boggs and Chris Garcia set out on their bikes with other 
friends, and when the boys spotted a suspicious car wandering through 
their development, they checked it out and saw the young girl inside. 
They relentlessly chased the driver on their bikes for 15 furious 
minutes. In recognizing that the boys wouldn't give up, the man let 
Jocelyn out of the car and drove away. She immediately ran to the boys, 
asking for her mother, and they safely took her back home.
  While they may not think of themselves as heroes, they certainly are. 
Thanks to Temar and Chris, Jocelyn is home, and the suspect is now in 
custody.
