                          RECOGNIZING NASA DAY

  (Mr. HILL of Arkansas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize NASA Day 
in my home State of Arkansas, which was recently proclaimed by Governor 
Hutchinson to be January 27, 2020.
  In my district, Harding University, a member of the Arkansas Space 
Grant Consortium, has played an integral role in advancing aerospace 
priorities for 50 years. Between 1967 and 1979, Harding University's 
faculty and students supported NASA's Skylab and space efforts, 
including the 1969 landing of Neil Armstrong on the Moon. They 
conducted experiments examining the long-term effects of space on the 
human body.
  As a part of the Arkansas Space Grant Consortium, a group of 17 
colleges and universities that support NASA's research activities, 
Harding continues its contribution and maintains strong ties to our 
Nation's space program.
  I thank Harding University for its commitment to our aerospace 
priorities, and I appreciate Governor Hutchinson for recognizing the 
importance of NASA in Arkansas.
