                          Friday, May 1, 2020

  Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
dedication and partnership of Arkansas medical professionals and state 
agencies in their efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19 and prepare 
to rebuild.
  Governor Asa Hutchinson recently announced the formation of the 
Governor's Medical Advisory Committee for Post-Peak COVID-19 Response.
  Focusing on public health strategy after Arkansas reaches the peak of 
its COVID-19 cases, this committee is tasked to examine testing 
capabilities and social distancing protocols and make necessary 
recommendations to avoid a resurgence of cases.
  This work is critical to ensuring the health and safety of all 
Arkansans while continuing to pave the way for the opening of our 
state.
  On behalf of all Arkansans, I thank Governor Hutchinson, the members 
serving on this important committee, and all of the medical 
professionals and health care workers on the frontlines battling COVID-
19.
