     PRAYERS AND SUPPORT FOR THE RESIDENTS OF PARADISE, CALIFORNIA

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, I rise with a heavy heart. In my district, 
just a few days ago broke out a tremendously devastating wildfire. It 
affected the town of Paradise, California, and has completely destroyed 
the town and displaced at least 27,000 people, with many missing, their 
whereabouts unknown.
  Mr. Speaker, we ask for the prayers of the people of this country for 
this still unfolding situation. The fires aren't even all the way out 
yet. They haven't investigated everything yet. And they still have 
many, many missing people there.
  So what we really need is a little more time to put the fires out, so 
that we can have re-entry and find those who are missing.
  For those who want to support and help in this country, Mr. Speaker, 
monetary donations at this time for the Paradise, California, fire, 
known as the Camp fire, would be the most helpful thing that people can 
do at this time, to give the most assets and resources, the most 
helpful for those who are providing and helping with the shelters for 
so many people who have been displaced.
  I thank the American people for their prayers and support for our 
Paradise citizens.
