  Mr. LEVIN of California. Madam Speaker, this Holiday season, I am 
proud to recognize Chyanne Thomas, a postal worker from Vista, as my 
Constituent of the Month. Chyanne is a hero for two children, their 
families, and our entire community.
  Chyanne's vigilance while on her regular delivery route resulted in 
the identification of two children who had been reported missing. Her 
quick and caring response allowed these two local children to be safely 
reunited with their concerned families.
  When Chyanne spotted Abby, a 15-year-old with autism, she sprang into 
action. She used the skills she had learned in a previous job working 
with children with disabilities to keep Abby calm and safe until police 
arrived. Two weeks later, Chyanne saw a missing 4-year-old girl alone 
during her route and didn't hesitate to approach her and make sure she 
was okay until police and her parents arrived. Without Chyanne's 
awareness, compassion, and quick action, these two kids might still be 
missing.
  I launched a Constituent of the Month to recognize individuals in the 
49th District who have gone above and beyond to help their neighbors 
and support our community. I know the families of those two missing 
children would agree that Chyanne is well-deserving of this 
recognition. I am proud to recognize her as my Constituent of the 
Month.
