The speaker pro tempore for what purpose does the gentleman from massachusetts seek recognition . Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. Mr. Mcgovern mr. Speaker, food is medicine and our medical professionals need proper training to screen and treat Food Insecurity and dietrelated diseases. Thats why ive joined together with representative buchanan on a bipartisan letter to the Accreditation Council for graduate medical education, urging them to incorporate Nutrition Education into the Program Requirements for graduate medical education. By doing so, graduate medical programs will be required to adequately prepare physicians in nutrition, improving Health Outcomes and saving our Health Care System a lot of money. Mr. Speaker, the idea that our medical professionals should have better training in nutrition isnt a concept we just came up with here in washington. When i visit medical students, physicians, nurses and other medical professionals back home, i hear over and over again how they dont feel adequately prepared to treat Food Insecurity and dietrelated diseases. Im proud to further a key recommendation in the National Strategy on hunger, nutrition and health and ask all of my colleagues to support efforts to improve Nutrition Education for physicians. I yield back my time. The speaker pro tempore for what purpose does the gentleman from north dakota seek recognition . Mr. Armstrong i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute, revise and extend my remarks. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. Mr. Armstrong a pretty cool thing happened in my hometown last week. Pete won his 500th career game as our High School Baseball coach. Since 2000, the Dickinson High School has won five state championships and has been runners up three times. And if thats not enough, coach pete spends his summers coaching and running the babe ruth baseball team. To be honest, he would have gotten here a little earlier but he refuses to count the 2004 state championship season because he was deployed, honorably serving the state of north dakota and our country in the national guard. I cant think of anybody more worthy of being able to be addressed on the floor of the house today. Ive had the privilege of coaching with him. Ive had the privilege of running a Baseball Program where he ran my babe ruth program, and i had the privilege and honor of calling him my friend. He has touched numerous High School Students lives, both in the classroom and on the ballpark, and heres to another 24 years and 500 wins because hes a fixture in the third base dugout. Thank you, mr. Speaker. The speaker pro tempore for what purpose does the gentlewoman from florida seek recognition . Without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. Ms. Frankel look at this map. Todays a dark day in the state of florida because we joined all these states that are in dark colors, as our d draconian sixweek abortion ban goes into effect, gutting access to abortion care in florida and in the south. Its essentially a total ban because most women do not know theyre pregnant before six weeks. And, listen, abortion is a deeply personal medical decision that politicians should not interfere with. And doctors should not have to face criminal prosecution for treating the patient before them. We dont walk in other peoples shoes. There are many reasons for an abortion. It could be Birth Control failure, rape, incest, or endangering a persons life. Protecting womens access to abortion is a freedom that only she should have. The good news is that in november, florida voters can defend this fundamental freedom. But until then, a dark cloud hovers over our socalled sunshine state. The speaker pro tempore the gentlewomans time has expired. For what purpose does the gentleman from South Carolina seek recognition . Mr. Wilson i ask unanimous consent to address the congress for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. Mr. Wilson thank you, mr. Speaker. The violent antisemitic hatred on American College campuses is revealing of leftwing bigotry. Last week the wall street journal editorialized, quote, antiisrael, antisemitic protests at columbia, yale and elsewhere are getting uglier and it isnt clear that progressives in charge of these institutions are up to the job of enforcing order or protecting jewish students, end of quote. Yesterday new york was sadly revealing with a corrupt democrat judge gagging the republican candidate for president as corrupt democratic attorney general preceded to drop charges of violent supporters of terrorism seeking murder of all jews. Deranged democrats mirror republicans and appease murders of jews. In conclusion, god bless our troops who successfully protected america for 20 years as the global war on terrorism moves from the safe haven of afghanistan to america. We do not need new border laws, we need to eforce existing laws to enforce existing laws. Biden shamefully opens the borders to dictators as more 9 11 attacks across america are eminent, as repeatedly warned by the f. B. I. Thank you, ambassador of egypt, for Briefing Congress today. I yield back. The speaker pro tempore for what purpose does the gentlewoman from North Carolina seek recognition . Without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. Daps adams thank you, mr. Speaker ms. Adams thank you, mr. Speaker. Congressman don payne was one of a kind. From his impeccable fashion sense to our mutual love of hats. His infectious sense of humaner to his deep commitment to the people of newark, new jersey. When i came to congress, i went to don to tell him that while i was born in North Carolina, i spent my formative years in his district in newark and graduated from high school there. He never let me forget it. I always referred to him as my hometown guy and he referred to me as his home girl. And when i traveled to his district for a family members funeral, he was insistent to help me to show me around the city and when i couldnt make it to my high school reunion, don went in my place. When a member of my staff who was born in newark needed a copy of her birth certificate, donald payne made sure she got it. He was the first member to come to North Carolina to attend my annual adams mad hadder mad hatter event. Thats who he was, always lending a hand. My heartbreaks for his family. And im lifting you up in my prayers. And to my colleagues, as we mourn this devastating loss, may donald payne jr. s memory serve as motivation for us to be better Public Servants and continue the fight for equality, just as donald payne jr. Would have wanted. I yield back, mr. Speaker. The speaker pro tempore for what purpose does the gentlewoman from florida seek recognition .
