I thank Congressman Reichert for his belief in this bill and for his statement of the preciousness of life of our law enforcement officers and our families who depend upon them. This bill, of course, in particular, would work with States to ensure the regional coordination of various elements of the network, which speaks directly to the heinous crime committed against the two New York police officers and someone who traveled from Maryland to New York. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pascrell), a gentleman who lives in the region and who we have had the privilege of working with, from COPS on the Beat to the Blue Alert and many other bills dealing with our first responders, and a cosponsor of this bill.
