  (Ms. FOXX of North Carolina asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, over the past few months, we 
have seen remarkable progress in the fight against COVID-19. Our small 
businesses, manufacturers, and even schools have stepped up to produce 
necessary PPE for their communities and frontline providers.
  As of last month, Wilkes Community College Ashe Campus--located in my 
district--delivered over 741 3D-printed face shields to various 
locations in the High Country. Originally, this 3D printing endeavor 
was going to support Ashe Memorial Hospital, but now it has turned into 
a regional resource for healthcare providers across western North 
Carolina.
  To Mike Windish and Chris Kearley--the two engineering instructors at 
Wilkes Community College--and their colleagues who are spearheading 
this effort, thank you, and keep up the good work.
