  THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR THE FAMILY OF LITTLE RIVER ACADEMY POLICE 
                            CHIEF LEE DIXON

  (Mr. CARTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

  Mr. CARTER. Mr. Speaker, last night, tragedy struck a small town in 
central Texas. Little River Academy is a very small town outside of the 
largest town of Temple in Bell County, Texas.
  The chief of police, Lee Dixon, was killed in the line of duty while 
responding to a routine disturbance. There is an investigation ongoing, 
and I am confident, as a former judge and having personal knowledge of 
the judiciary of that county and the makeup of the juries, that justice 
will be served in this case.
  I ask this House to keep the family of Chief Lee Dixon in their 
thoughts and prayers as they go through this time in a very small, but 
important town, in Bell County, Texas.
