Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, unfortunately, I need to begin this morning with some tragic news from Kentucky.

Late last night, Sheriff's Deputy Josh Phipps, of Russell County, was killed in the line of duty. His sacrifice is a sober reminder of the debt we owe our courageous law enforcement officials. They are the first to run toward fire and the first to put themselves in harm's way to keep us safe.

Today, I know the entire Commonwealth is holding Sheriff's Deputy Phipps in our thoughts and our prayers. So I would ask my colleagues to join me in sending our deepest sympathy to Russell County and the Phipps family as they mourn his loss.
