             RECOGNIZING DRIVE BY HEROES IN PEARLAND, TEXAS

  Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, over half the States in America have had a 
large spike in the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Sadly, my own State of 
Texas has had one of the highest increases in the past week.
  There are lots of factors why. Most blame is laid upon youngsters age 
18 to 30 because they know they have a small chance of dying, so they 
don't really care about social distancing.
  I spent about an hour last Thursday with three amazing Pearland High 
School students, twins Isaiah and Stephan Torres and Jasmine Saenz. 
These kids care with spider webs and bracelets of submission.
  On their own, they set up a nonprofit called Drive By Heroes. They 
dress up as Spider Man and Wonder Woman, and they have kids out of 
school prod their parents to drop by to see their superheroes.
  The price? Food supplies for victims of COVID-19. In less than 2 
weeks, these three youngsters raised 1 ton of food for the Pearland 
Neighborhood Center.
  So, people of Pearland, southeast Texas, if you want to meet a real 
superhero, go to Facebook and find out where they are, or invite them 
to come to your home. Enjoy the pride of Texans being Texans.
