Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join Sigma Gamma Rho\nSorority, Incorporated, Gamma Phi Sigma Chapter, in honoring Houston's\nfirefighters for their outstanding service to our community. The\nchapter will honor Houston's firefighters at their 16th annual Status\nof Women Luncheon on October 26, 1996.\n  We seldom think of firefighters unless we hear a screaming siren or\nsee the flashing light of a fire engine. But the fact that we don't\noften think about firefighters is a testament to how well they do their\njob--we comfortably go about our everyday lives because we know\n\n[[Page E1934]]\n\nthat these dedicated people stand ready to respond quickly and\neffectively in an emergency. Much of firefighting is undramatic--\nkeeping equipment in condition, teaching fire prevention, anticipating\ncauses of fire. But a life-and-death emergency is always only a 911\ncall away, and firefighters and their families live with that constant\nrisk. For that we say thank you.\n  I salute the Houston firefighters honorees who have served the\ncommunity so well: Clifford J. Thompson, Willie S. Bright, Milton\nAlfred, Samuel Kemp, Willie D. Cooper, Walter T. Brooks, James Johnson,\nJr., Rudolph Cline, Aaron Bernard, Otis L. Burns, Edward Jackson,\nBricey Childress, James Perry, James Haekney, Larry Kaperhart, Albert\nD. Robinson, Sr., Julio Terry, Charles Wheeler, Herb Kimbrel, Otis\nJordan, Chief Hershel Julian, Thomas E. Patterson, Ozell Love, Robin\nAllen, Annette Thomas, Maria Jordan, Capt. Gary Cooper, Chief John\nMayes, Wilmer Monmouth, Jr., Robyn Waller, and Frank Jackson.\n  Again, I would like to congratulate and thank the Houston\nfirefighters and the men and women who have dedicated themselves to\nserving others and keeping our city safe.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-1996-10-21-pt1-PgE1933-3"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.4502380033954978, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
