IN A MOMENT. I WILL ASK THE
SENATE TO PASS LEGISLATION
THAT WOULD AWARD CAPITOL
POLICE OFFICER EUGENE GOODMAN,
CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL. IN
THE WEEKS AFTER THE ATTACK ON
JANUARY THE THE WORLD LEARNED
ABOUT THE INCREDIBLE
INCREDIBLE BRAVERY OF OFFICER
GOODMAN ON THAT FATEFUL DAY.
HERE IN THIS TRIAL. WE SAW A
NEW VIDEO, POWERFUL VIDEO.
SHOWING CALMNESS UNDER
PRESSURE. HIS COURAGE IN THE
LINE OF DUTY. HIS FORESIGHT IN
THE MIDST OF CHAOS AND HIS
WILLINGNESS TO MAKE HIMSELF A
TARGET OF THE MOB’S RAGE SO
THAT OTHERS MIGHT REACH
SAFETY. OFFICER GOODMAN IS IN THE CHAMBER TONIGHT. OFFICER
THE CHAMBER TONIGHT. OFFICER GOODMAN, THANK YOU.
GOODMAN, THANK YOU. GREAT
REPUBLICAN LEADER MCCONNELL
ARE I JUST WANT TO SAY I THINK
WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT EUGENE
GOODMAN DESERVES THE HIGHEST
HONOR. CONGRESS CAN BESTOW.
>> BUT I JUST BEFORE WE MOVED
TO PASS THIS LEGISLATION. I
WANT TO BE CLEAR. THAT HE WAS
NOT ALONE THAT DAY. THE
NATION’S AND HAS NOW SEEN
NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF BIGGER
ROLE CONDUCT OF THE CAPITOL
POLICE, THE METROPOLITAN
POLICE SWAT TEAMS THAT WERE
WITH US ON JANUARY 6TH HERE IN
THE CAPITAL PROTECTING US, OUR
HEARTFELT GRATITUDE EXTENDS TO
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM,
PARTICULARLY NOW. AS MEMBERS
OF THE FORCE CONTINUE TO BEAR
SCARS SCENE AND UNFORESEEN
FROM THE EVENTS OF THAT
DISGRACEFUL DAY. LET US GIVE
THEM ALL THE HONOR AND RECOGNITION THEY SO JUSTLY
RECOGNITION THEY SO JUSTLY DESERVES.
>> THAT’S RIGHT. IN THE
REPUBLICAN LEADER. PLEASE JOIN

OF FEAR. FOR THOSE TO WORK
HERE IN THE CAPITAL. AND I’VE
SAID SURE MANY MORE WATCHING.

ALSO INTRODUCE OUR NATION TO A
GROUP OF HEROES. WE IN
CONGRESS WERE ALREADY PROUD TO
CALL OUR COLLEGE AND WE OWE A
GREAT IN THE FACE OF THE
OFFICERS OF THE U.S. CAPITOL
MOVED OUT. THE FULLEST THEIR
ROLES. IF NOT FOR THE QUICK
THINKING AND BRAVERY OF
OFFICER GOODMAN. IN

PROUD THE SENATE IS TAKING
THIS STEP FOR RECOGNIZING HIS HER WITH THE HIGHEST HONOR. WE
