The chair recognizes the gentleman from georgia, mr. Collins, for five minutes. Mr. Collins i ask unanimous consent to address the house. The speaker pro tempore without objection, so ordered. Mr. Collins thank you, mr. Speaker. I rise today to commemorate the 240th birthday of the military Chaplain Corps. During the literal days of the revolutionary war that led to our nations great independence, general George Washington called for the establishment of the Chaplain Corps to fight for the freedom of their families and their nation. On july 29, 1775, the Continental Congress responded to that call. The initial army Chaplain Corps would later expand to every branch of Americas Armed services. The very existence of the Chaplain Corps says much about our nations view of its fighting force. From the beginning americans understood our war fighters are not only soldiers but human beings whose heart age anne souls need just as much care. They served in all major conflicts from the colonial era to the battlefields of informing and iraq. Afghanistan andstanand ira chlains arnot simp people of fah o decideo ministe inhe militay.

Given our focus on the unseen, our care for the soul we do have a tendency to see more of what binds our journey together than anything that might separate them. You see, our challenges take us from the very war rooms and very inner circle the commanders preparing for battle to the very newest who serve just on the guard. As i did in iraq back in 2008 it was my privilege to see some our best and brightest serving at night in the millle of the land far away from home one in particular, when i nirs met her, she was arriving late. When she got there i was wondering why did you come late from your unit . She said well, sir, hi a little bit of a delay. I said what was that . I was curious. She said, well just a few months ago i had my little baby girl. And i thought for just a moment. She said, i was wanting to be here because i trained and i didnt want to let my fellow members down. So for the rest of that time i was there with her over the years, over the next few months we explored and i saw through pictures the life of a mother separated from her young child but watching the experiences of growth as she not only served her country but she served as a mom. Its been a tremendous blessing to see and honor the commitment of our fellow chaplains, chaplains who go when they are told to go. They commit themselves to serving when others are in need. And those are the kind of stories that the Chaplain Corps birthday celebrate for me. Seeing the men and women who take their faith seriously but take the constitution seriously when religious liberties are protected and those are things worth standing up for. It is truly a blessing and the men and women who helped our service men and women have made a profound impact object our military and nation. It is with that thought in mind i wish every member of the Chaplain Corps the very best on this special occasion. Chaplains, wherever you are today, as one who serves with you, you serve a vital role. Keep it up. Keep protecting our constitution. And keep taking care of the nations who send their best young and and young women to protect us for the very privilege of sitting in this chamber of speaking today and being a part. May the Chaplain Corps continue to provide a strong spiritual, moral, and ethical compass for the United States armory and armed forces for many centuries to come. As one who serves, may i just say bless them all in peace as they go about their work. With that, mr. Speaker, i yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. The chair recognizes the gentleman from florida, mr. Curbelo, for five minutes. Mr. Curl bellow mr. Speaker mr. Curbelo mr. Speaker today i recognize leaders miami today county schools to discuss school dispin. It was to determine alternatives to Common School measures to keep focused on learning. Exclusionary discipline has become far too common. Often exacerbating the problems for students who struggle in school. This leaves kids down a path where they fall behind other students and end up in the juvenile justice system. The change in School Discipline procedures is long overdue. Rather than promoting a atmosphere of compounding punishment, we need to help our students get back on a positive track and help them succeed while also maintaining the safety of their classmates and teachers. Prior to being elected to congress, i served for four years as a board member of Miamidade CountyPublic Schools. I have seen firsthand the bold efforts to reform disciplinary tactics and reverse the trend that plagues so many school districts. Miamidade has created sites across the county for suspended children to attend rather than forcing them to waste their time out of school. I applaud the board led by chair hampton and superintendent carvalo for their leadership on this issue and willingness to participate in this important discussion. I look forward to working with them o to promote proper and safe School Discipline that benefits the students, their parents, and their teachers. Mr. Speaker, i rise today to discuss the importance of science, technology, engineers, and Mathematics Education and also recognize the great work being done in the 26th district of florida to encourage these classes. Its no secret that jobs that require a stem related background are projected to outpace other fields as Many Companies struggle to hire qualified candidates. We need to encourage our students to pursue these fields early on in school and ensure that our educators have the necessary tools to help cultivate an interest in stem classes for our students. In an effort to reach a goal of graduating stem students, they have a new Certification Program for teachers in collaboration with Florida International university. F. I. U. Has developed a program that promotes stem teacher training for firstyear College Students where theyre paired with Miamidade CountyPublic School teachers to give them firsthand experience in the classroom. The goal is to encourage more stem majors to go into teaching. I applaud the work being done in floridas 26th district and look forward to further promoting Stem Education in south floridas classrooms. Congratulations, again, to f. I. U. And to Miamidade CountyPublic Schools. Mr. Speaker, i rise to recognize wednesday, august 19, as startup day all across america, and i encourage everyone to visit at least one Small Business in your community on this day. Startups are quickly developing right before our eyes. Throughout our country, there are countless Small Businesses that range from retail to health care and these companies are changing the work force as we know it. Entrepreneurs are leading the way to a Brighter Future by using Innovative Solutions and reinventing the way we look at Small Businesses. Our local businesses employ our friends and neighbors, helping them to pay their bills and provide a better life for themselves and their families. As a member of the Small Business committee, i recommend that we never forget the vital role that our local businesses play in keeping our neighborhoods strong and prosperous. Again, i encourage everyone to participate in startup day across america on wednesday, august 19, and help these Small Businesses continue to grow. Mr. Speaker, i rise to celebrate august 4 as the 225th birthday of the United States coast guard. The coast guard is one of our nations five branches of the Armed Services and can trace its origins back to august 4, 1790, when the first u. S. Congress appropriated the funds to construct 10 vessels. These ships were designated with enforcing tariff and trade laws while also preventing smuggling and protecting the collection of federal revenue. Mr. Speaker, im particularly proud to represent coast guard sector key west, a base located in south florida that covers 55,000 square miles. They are tasked with the same responsibilities as their predecessors and also have the crucial job of combating drug smuggling from the caribbean and south america. This is no easy task, but im proud of the work the coast guard continues to do to stifle drugs from entering our communities. Always ready, this is the motto of our beloved coast guard and our nation owes a sincere debt of gratitude to the coastees and all those who protect our great country. With that, mr. Speaker, i yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. Pursuant to clause 12a of rule 1, the chair declares the house in recess until 2 00 p. M. Today. July 23, there are five democrat senators who support the pack, including bernie sanders. There are 13 leaning in favor of the agreement. And among republicans 22 are definite nos including president ial candidates ted cruz, lindsey graham, rand paul and marco rubio. Again, that list being kept by the hill. It updates frequently. You can check it out at thehill. Com. You can also read the agreement on our website cspan. Org. Tonight on the communicators, f. C. C. Commissioner Michael Oriley on net neutrality, regulating the internet and the publics influence on policymaking. Commissioner oriley when its presented to the commissioner level, that document should be made available publicly. I think that would provide an uble for everyone to comment on exactly what were thinking. It would allow people to hone in on issues that are problematic. Right now we have people who raise concerns regarding our items. They often dont know exactly whats being put forward. So theyre kind of doing rifle shots in many different scattered structures, you know, and thats problematic from my point of view. Id rather people target exactly where theyd like to see fixes and not have to spend time needlessly on things that dont need attention. Tonight on the communicate oors on cspan2. The communicators on cspan2. On friday, Hillary Clinton spoke at the stern school of business at new york university. And during her speech she unveiled a proposal to get corporations to invest in workers to increase prosper
