                     HONORING SERGEANT JOHN SCHULTZ

  (Mr. McKINLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. McKINLEY. Mr. Speaker, this week is indeed National Police Week, 
a time to honor and commemorate the sacrifices of the courageous men 
and women who serve in law enforcement. They keep our communities 
strong and our neighborhoods safe.
  Today, I want to particularly recognize Sergeant John Schultz of the 
Wheeling Police Department for his 20 years of service and for always 
putting others first.
  Sergeant Schultz has not only been a proud police officer, but he has 
also served abroad in Desert Storm and Desert Shield. For the last 5 
years, he has mentored local kids as a PRO at Wheeling Middle School.
  His selfless service was evident last year when on June 2, he dove 
into a public pool fully clothed in boots, shoes, and weapons to 
successfully rescue a student who was unconscious at the bottom of the 
pool.
  For this courageous deed and his admirable and respected career, he 
has been recognized by the National Association of Police Organizations 
for honorable mention for the prestigious TOP COPS Award.
  Let's congratulate him for this honor and thank all of his law 
enforcement colleagues who dedicate their lives every day to the well-
being of all of our fellow citizens.
