                          NATIONAL POLICE WEEK

  (Ms. STEFANIK asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, in my district in the North Country of New 
York, brave law enforcement officers dedicate their careers and risk 
their lives each and every day to keep our communities safe.
  We are grateful for the outstanding service from men and women like 
Sergeant Jay Cook of the New York State Police, whose courageous 
actions put an end to the manhunt for the killers who escaped Clinton 
Correctional Facility last year.
  Sadly, far too many of these brave men and women have lost their 
lives in the line of duty. Each year communities across our Nation 
gather to honor in recognition of these heroes and tens of thousands of 
law enforcement officers descend on our Nation's capital to honor the 
fallen.
  Mr. Speaker, in commemoration of National Police Week, I rise today 
to thank our law enforcement officers for their service and to honor 
the brave men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
