                          OFFICER JASON CRISP

  Mrs. HAGAN. Mr. President, I rise today to honor U.S. Forest Service 
Officer Jason Crisp.
  On March 12, 2014, Officer Crisp and his K-9 partner Maros lost their 
lives during a manhunt for an individual suspected of murdering his 
parents earlier that day.
  Officer Crisp lived in Marion, NC, located in the western part of the 
State. After graduating from the Federal Law Enforcement Training 
Center in 2005, he became an officer for the Forest Service. He had 
previously served as a deputy sheriff in the McDowell County Sheriff's 
Office.
  Officer Crisp's tragic death is a reminder of the countless men and 
women in law enforcement who put their safety at risk to protect our 
communities every day.
  In honor of Officer Crisp's bravery, and his service to North 
Carolina and to the Forest Service, I am pleased the Senate will 
approve H.R. 4360, a bill to designate a Ranger Station within the 
Grandfather Ranger District in North Carolina, the ``Jason Crisp Forest 
Service Building.''
  The new Jason Crisp Building will serve as a lasting tribute to the 
ultimate sacrifice Officer Crisp made in service to our country.
  Officer Crisp leaves behind his wife, Amanda, his two sons Garret and 
Logan, as well as his parents, a sister, and two brothers. My thoughts 
and prayers go out to his family.
  Mr. PRYOR. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the bill be read 
three times and passed, and the motion to reconsider be considered made 
and laid upon the table, with no intervening action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The bill (H.R. 4360) was ordered to a third reading, was read the 
third time, and passed.

                          ____________________
