                       TRIBUTE TO JESSICA COCHRAN

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Jessica Cochran of Blaine County for her entrepreneurship 
and creativity during these challenging times.
  The COVID-19 outbreak has impacted so many Montana small business 
owners and local communities. During these challenging times, it is 
tougher than ever for new entrepreneurs to open up shop.
  Jessica, a sixth grade teacher at Harlem Elementary School, however 
took the initiative to start up her own ice cream truck business this 
summer to spread some cheer to her community during these hard times.
  Jessica started Bliss Ice Cream, after acquiring and renovating a 
1985 Chevy Astro van. Jessica also secured all the necessary permits 
and licenses as an independent contractor and food vendor for the 
summer. Owning an ice cream truck has been a dream of hers since a 
child. She has taken the initiative to purchase all the necessary 
supplies and decorations for the children of Harlem and the Fort 
Belknap area.
  It is my honor to recognize Jessica for taking the bold initiative to 
pursue her dream and bring some much needed joy to the children of her 
community. As a teacher and a new entrepreneur,

Jessica is a great role model for all of her students and the folks of 
Blaine County.
