Speaker. Today indigenous environmental activist Berta Caceras would have been 49 years old. But on march 2, 2016, she was viciously the speaker pro tempore the house will be in order. The gentleman deserves to be heard. The gentleman may proceed. Mr. Johnson but on march 2, 2016, she was viciously murdered in her own home by a coordinated effort between greedy corporate and government thugs. She died defending the land of the linca indigenous people. Be trmbings t berta, along with countless otherdouran activists, was the victim of a government racked with corruption and impunity. Drug traffickers have littered the highest ranks of honduras government and its military remains weaponized against its own people, all of whom are at the victimization of this government. Which is aided by u. S. Security assistance. We turn away our brothers and sisters at the border, but we abet the very crimes they are fleeing. Bertas legacy should serve to remind us of this and enough is enough. And with that, i yield back. The speaker pro tempore for what purpose does the gentleman from georgia seek recognition . Mr. Carter i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. Mr. Carter mr. Speaker, i rise today to remember and honor the life of mrs. Laura Randolph Stevens davendorf. Born in georgias first congressional district, laura was a fearless advocate, a talented artist and dedicated writer who used her gifts for the betterment of others. Laura was an extraordinarily gifted designer. In fact, during the atlantic Olympic Games she served as assistant course designer, the first woman in olympic history to be so honored. She was also a dedicated environmentalist and preservationist. In her late 60s, she became a certified master tree farmer and master wildlifer and was an instructor for the university of georgias Master Naturalist Program in forestry and salt marsh ecology. She served on numerous boards, including the georgia forestry association. In fact, in 2000, she was named georgias tree farmer of the year. I was blessed to meet mrs. Laura. So i can attest to her empathy, her intellectual, creativity, courage and compassion. She was a pillar in savannah and her legacy will live on. Lauras family and friends will be in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. Thank you, mr. Speaker. And i yield back.

M. Tomorrow. The speaker pro tempore without objection. Mr. Speaker, i ask for unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. I rise today to recognize three extraordinary women. Nouf abdul aziz, and iman alrafian. For nearly two years these women have been imprisoned, placed in solitary confinement and tortured by the saudi government. Ms. Wild all because they used their voices to express the need for the government to recognize the fundamental rights and dignity of women. Under saudi arabias male guardianship system, which requires women to obtain permission of their male guardians on health care, employment and travel decisions, the very notion of womens rights or for that matter human rights is effectively nonexistent. Despite the saudi governments recent claims of social reform and unacceptably oppressive status quo continues to dominate virtually every aspect of life for women in saudi arabia. I urge my colleagues to join me as a cosponsor of House Resolution 129, a resolution which calls for the Immediate Release of these activists and calls on the administration to impose sanctions on saudi officials responsible for human rights violations. Let us come together, democrats and republicans alike, in demanding the release of these courageous women. Thank you, mr. Speaker. I yield back.

The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. Mr. Spano thank you, mr. Speaker. Today i rise to recognize clairemont florida native, diane travis, who exemplifies the type of citizen who puts community above self. Mrs. Davis served as a Council Woman, Small Business owner and, most recently, was named as a finalist for the womens great grand masters due athlete of the year. As a duathlete who runs, bikes and then runs again, she exhibits tremendous perseverance, discipline and strength of character. Even more noteworthy is the fact that she dedicates each race to her friend whom this award is named after and who sadly lost her life in a car accident returning home from a competition. Being recognized as a finalist for duathlete of the year shows the Great Success ms. Travis has displayed in past competitions. She captured the silver medal at the world competition. I wish Council Woman travis the best of luck moving forward as a finalist and and in all future competitions. Shell make our district and our country proud. Yield back. The speaker pro tempore under the speakers announced policy of january 3, 2019, the gentleman from arizona, mr. Schweikert, is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the minority leader. Mr. Schweikert thank you, mr. Speaker. Were actually going to try to touch on three or four Different Things this evening. Im going try to make it all sort of connect together. On a personal level, i was very pleased, as we were doing the supplemental and the mechanisms in regards to the coronavirus, a little widget of that was actually the telemedicine piece of legislation that i believe mr. Thompson from the ways and Means Committee and myself have been offered and its always nice to see some of these ideas youve been working on getting lifted up and moved forward. But this evening i actually want to sort of continue to sort of talk about science. And the fact of the matter is the impact it can have if we actually sort of think forward on functionally our debt, our deficits and our ability to keep our promises. You know, ive been behind this mic dozens and dozens of times with my little boards, trying to demonstrate that over the next 30 years, functionally Social Security and medicare, these are earned benefits, but they also are the primary drivers of u. S. Debt. Its almost all of it. And a lot of its just demographics. Were getting older as a society. Most of its medicare. Its Health Care Costs. And it turns out that theres opportunities that if we can embrace technology to actually disrupt some of those Health Care Costs. At the end we always sort of talk about, we need to grow the economy. We need tax policy, we need immigration policy. We need regulatory policy. We need incentives for labor force participation. Theres all these things that make the economy grow so we have the resources, the receipts, revenues, tax revenues and other things to actually keep our promises. But one of the other things kyo do is also dis we could do is also disrupt the price of health care. Just as a thought experiment. Except its actually based in the living math, this slides a little hard to deal with. But think of this. Over the next 30 years, and this isnt adjusted for inflation, but over the next 30 years, if you were to remove Social Security and medicare, would you have 23 trillion in the bank. If you roll Social Security and medicare back, youre 103 trillion in debt. And its mostly medicare. Its mostly Health Care Costs. 30 of that Health Care Cost is just diabetes. And thats what this slide is sort of walking through, the individuals we know about, those were expecting to come in the future years. And the cost curve. The fact of the matter is our investment, our ability to build policy that gets us to solutions for diabetes, and diabetes is complicated. You know, theres auto immune issues, theres lifestyle issues, theres just some genetic issues. Its complicated. But understand, just curing diabetes would be 30 of the medicare costs were projecting over the next 30 years. Its a demonstration that when we can get the incentives here correct, to push science, for these little labs, for these really smart universities that actually will break off something and go set up and raise capital and do these highrisk experiments to produce disruptions, cures, how important that is actually to our society today, but also into the future. Because if those little labs can produce a cure, can produce new their putics, and therapeutics and change this cost curve, they also change the projection of u. S. Economics, u. S. Debt. And im trying to build an understanding here. So think about what we just did on the floor. We just moved, what, 8 billionsome, working through the coronavirus, making sure theres supplementals and all these other things. And we also have had briefings, even earlier today, of some of the small labs and big pharma and little pharma that are desperately working to produce vaccines. Also new therapeutics, antivirals. Yet this same body in december, we moved a piece of legislation through here that would functionally crush, would functionally put those small biologic innovators out of business. It would destroy their whats often called the capital stack, the ability to raise money for highrisk therapeutics that most of the time fail. If we care about drug prices, which both the republican side and democrat side, i know we focus on it, if we make sure we can move a bill like they did, h. R. 3, functionally youre going to get some price efficiency here and wipe out the very innovation and the very biologics and small pharmas that were relying right now to produce some of the very disruption for whats going on in the world right now. So its just, understand we have to be so careful that we dont satiate our current political desire, and its a real one, to deal with the cost of pharmaceuticals and end up destroying future innovation that will save lives but also make sure we have the infrastructure for when we take on Something Like we are right now with the virus around the world. It ties back into, turns out, one of our greatest debt drivers is diabetes. Its 30 of the cost of medicare over the next 30 years. So why show this board . It turns out that just a couple of days ago, i came across a series of articles talking about another example of sort of a miracle that science is bringing us. It looks like this is a mouse experiment. Traditionally when you see a mouse experiment were still a decade away from the therapeutic. But this should be stunningly hopeful. Its functionally they functionally found a way to put in living cells that associate with the pancreatic cell and this just comes from reading three or four articles in some of the science journals that produce insulin in this mouse experiment. A his the beginning of therapeutic that is either a cure for part of the diabetic population or a substantial portion of it that also happens to have the economic benefit of dramatically changing the cost curve of health care, dramatically changing the cost curve of medicare and medicaid and so many other things . So as we sit here and everything from the conversation around the coronavirus to debt and deficit, understand this the primary driver of our deficits are Health Care Costs and really its our demographic. We have 74 million of us who are baby boomers and were moving nto our benefit years. How do we build policy around we could make this work for our brothers and sisters across the country. How do we incentivize investment in this technology that may partially or substantially cure diabetes but also solves one of our greatest debt problems in the future. This is the sort of thing republicans and democrats should be embracing each other and the policy and ideas to move capital, to move incentives, to make this work. If this body is going to have a discussion saying the World Economics are going to slow down for a little while because of whats going on and we want to do some stimuli, talk about doing stimuli that actually also isnt just a momentary change but actually, could change change our could actually change our future debt curve buzz it provides cures for our brothers and sisters with diabetes. Thats 30 of medicares dependents. Im asking us to think not only creatively, strategically, but also incentivize the science that changes our future. Its here. This is really exciting stuff. You sort of hope and pray that the continuation of the experiments and science continue to go this direction. This is a big deal. Its not only a big deal from a science standpoint for our brothers and sisters with diabetes but even some debt and deficit. Turns out you really can actually have that sort of holistic circle come together if we can get our policies right around here. So another thing we spent a lot time talking about energy policy, you know, how do you deal with everything from the issues of Greenhouse Gases and how actually dysfunctional our policies are here. I dont mean to get snarky but on one hand people get behind the microphones and give these beautiful speeches about how much we care. Then we look the other way when actual things are going on in our economy and make things worse. Let me give my example. Just part of the thought experiment to understand, do you see the multicolored layer . Thats Nuclear Generation thats coming offline. This is 2017 slide. If you could see the slide, which is very colorful, you will happen to notice it is substantially taller than the yellow side. The yellow side is photo voltaic. Im from arizona. I love solar. Its wonderful. This power ealize provides a baseload that is really, really clean. Weve shown theres a gentleman with a nobel prize that wrote an article a few months ago thinking in about 10 years theyll have a way to break down Nuclear Waste with some type of laser. The physics on that are a little beyond me. But this is sort of the point. We get our policy wrong on trying to keep our Nuclear Generation up and running and then we run around giddy that weve had so much photo voltaic h
