                 HONORING OFFICER JORDAN HARRIS SHELDON

  (Mr. BUDD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BUDD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Officer 
Jordan Harris Sheldon. He was killed in the line of duty during a 
routine traffic stop recently. Mr. Sheldon honorably served the 
Mooresville Police Department for 6 years as a K-9 officer.
  I know that the Mooresville Police Department and the community are 
heartbroken by this news, as am I. Our men and women in blue put on the 
uniform every day not knowing what their fate could be, yet they 
continue to serve their communities without question.
  Madam Speaker, I consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to 
represent a place like Mooresville in the U.S. Congress, and I know 
that I speak for the good folks of Mooresville when I say that Officer 
Sheldon will not be forgotten.
  I ask Members to join me in praying for Officer Sheldon's family, the 
Mooresville Police Department, and the community during this difficult 
time.
