   COMMENDING ZACH McALLISTER FOR KEEPING OUR HOSPITAL HEROES HEALTHY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PETE OLSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 26, 2020

  Mr. OLSON. Madam Speaker, in unprecedented times like these where the 
will and spirit of America are tested, Americans band together to 
weather the storm. Heroes like Zach McAllister in Friendswood, Texas 
stand up to support their neighbors and defend our community from the 
invisible enemy known as coronavirus.
  Supplies of hand sanitizer are depleting and have left the medical 
professionals working on the front lines of this crisis in critical 
need. Our doctors and nurses in TX-22 and across America need hand 
sanitizer to keep them healthy while they treat COVID-19 patients. 
Seeing the shortage, Mr. McAllister and his company Custom Chemicals 
and Coatings stepped up to produce the needed sanitizer at their 
warehouse in Pearland.
  Soon, Mr. McAllister and the heroes at Custom Chemicals and Coatings 
were able to start selling their supply to hospitals and emergency 
responders as well as fire and police departments and EMT agencies.
  Mr. McAllister's decision to start manufacturing hand sanitizer in 
bulk helps defend our doctors, nurses and health care professionals. By 
taking action like this, Mr. McAllister and Custom Chemicals and 
Coatings are playing an integral part in stopping the spread of 
coronavirus and ensuring that their friends, families, neighbors and 
communities stay well.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, I 
want to commend Mr. McAllister for the important work he is doing to 
help our community. It should come as no surprise that our country has 
a friend in Friendswood.
