                          NATIONAL POLICE WEEK

  (Mr. BRENDAN F. BOYLE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. BRENDAN F. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
commemorate National Police Week and to honor police officers killed in 
the line of duty.
  Sobering stories of everyday heroes lost in the line of duty led me 
to introduce H.R. 2350, Children of Fallen Heroes Scholarship Act, 
along with my fellow Pennsylvania colleague, Congressman Mike 
Fitzpatrick.
  This is a commonsense bill that would ease the financial burden of 
families of fallen law enforcement as well as other first responders by 
increasing Federal student aid opportunities for those children to 
pursue a college education.
  Every child should have a fair opportunity to pursue a college 
degree, especially those who have suffered the unimaginable loss of a 
parent in the line of duty.
  I commend the Senate for passing our companion bill earlier this 
week, and I call upon the House to pass our bill immediately.
