                HONORING FALLEN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, on this day that we honor the fallen, 
who have been given the duty and obligation to protect and serve, the 
Nation's law enforcement officers, I also stand here to mourn those 
marines and those Nepal rescue workers who died on the side of a Nepal 
mountain, attempting to bring help and food and opportunity and 
survival to those who have been struck by this horrific earthquake and 
one that has followed.
  Many have died, and it is only the kind of integrity of Americans 
that, wherever there is need, we answer the call.
  The same today, as thousands of law enforcement officers gather on 
the west steps, we know that throughout our communities, where there is 
a need, they will come.
  Earlier this week, I submitted into the Record the numbers of Houston 
police officers who died in the line of duty. I honor them, and I honor 
those who have fallen and those who serve.
  As I end this 1 minute, I end it with a moment of silence.
  In honor of all of those who have fallen, our soldiers and our law 
enforcement officers, we thank you for your service.
  God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.
