                   HONORING OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN BLUE

  (Mr. MARSHALL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MARSHALL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute all the men and 
women who make up the police forces across this great country. As well, 
the men and women in blue have served this country and protect us.
  I especially want to salute the 135 officers who gave up their lives 
this past year. I also want to say thanks to my own father, who served 
as chief of police in El Dorado, Kansas, for 25 years.
  My heart is especially warmed as I look out and see the tens of 
thousands of police officers in Washington, D.C., this week as they 
honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
