          RECOGNIZING OFFICERS OF UNITED STATES CAPITOL POLICE

  (Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, in honor of Law 
Enforcement Appreciation Day, I rise today to recognize the officers of 
the United States Capitol Police force for their heroic actions to save 
lives as part of their highly trained and committed service to this 
congressional community throughout 2019.
  When they heard the radio call about an unresponsive individual in a 
car, two officers responded and ultimately saved the life of a man who 
had suffered a heart attack.
  Officers administered tactical combat casualty care to the victim of 
a shooting and helped get that person to a hospital.
  Three officers saved the life of a man who, shockingly, had a heart 
attack during his visit to this Capitol Building.
  These are only a few occasions in an impressive list of heroic 
actions. We owe our gratitude to all of the officers of the United 
States Capitol Police force for the hard work they do here.
  I thank all of the police force for going the extra mile; not only 
protecting and defending us here in the congressional community, but 
for all they do in all of our communities.
