                 HONORING WORK OF OFFICER BROOKS YANDLE

  (Mr. BISHOP of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BISHOP of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor 
the life-saving work of Officer Brooks Yandle of the White Lake Police 
Department.
  Over the weekend of July 4, Officer Yandle responded to a call about 
a 43-year-old woman unresponsive to CPR. Upon arriving, Officer Yandle 
determined that the victim had overdosed on heroin, took quick action 
to resuscitate her, and saved her life.
  This is not the first time Officer Yandle has acted to save lives. In 
2016, he saved a grandmother and her four grandchildren found 
unconscious and suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning.
  Officer Yandle's courage and decisiveness has saved multiple lives, 
and he is a credit to the noble profession of law enforcement. I am 
proud to pay tribute today to him and to the entire White Lake Police 
Department.
