                  HONORING OFFICER NICHOLAS CHOUNG LEE

  (Mr. SCHIFF asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Nicholas 
Choung Lee, a Los Angeles police officer who selflessly served his 
community.
  Nicholas served for years in the LAPD, first in the Van Nuys division 
and later in the Hollywood division, assigned to a patrol car. He had 
worked as both a field training officer and vice officer in Wilshire 
before returning to patrol in the Hollywood division in 2008. In his 16 
years of service he received more than 70 commendations.
  Even as a police officer, family came first for Nicholas, who had a 
wife, Cathy, and two young daughters, Jalen and Kendall.
  Tragically, and much too soon, Nicholas passed away on April 6 when a 
truck hit his patrol car in Beverly Hills.
  We depend upon the bravery and dedication of police officers every 
moment of every day, and we often forget the dangers and challenges 
they face on our behalf. I ask all members to join me in expressing our 
condolences to the Lee family and the entire LAPD.
