                             POLICE REFORM

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, as America has been 
shocked at the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, I agree with 
Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York that 99.9 percent of police are 
dedicated public servants.
  Reaffirmation of appreciation of law enforcement has been provided by 
Senator Tim Scott with the Just and Unifying Solutions to Invigorate 
Communities Everywhere, JUSTICE, Act. This reform legislation will 
provide more resources and de-escalation training.
  Senator Scott has correctly identified that the police department is 
a part of our community. I am grateful to cosponsor the House companion 
legislation, led by Congressman Pete Stauber, a veteran police officer.
  Now is the time for Republicans and Democrats to work together to 
restore trust in our police and reduce divisions which destroy 
families.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
  I am grateful to Chief Andrew Richburg and Chief Dennis Tyndall.
