                        CONGRATULATING RITEDOSE

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, congratulations to 
Ritedose Corporation of Columbia, a South Carolina company on the front 
lines of America's spectacular effort to secure a coronavirus vaccine.

  Thursday, it was announced that Ritedose has been selected as a 
subcontractor of ApiJect Systems America, led by CEO Franco Negron, to 
produce prefilled single-dose syringes for the vaccine.
  In 4 months, Jody Chastain, the president and CEO of Ritedose, and 
his talented team have up-fitted a facility that will produce up to 45 
million doses a month of the vaccine. That is American ingenuity at its 
best, and it is our capable workforce in South Carolina at their best.
  The Ritedose success in Operation Warp Speed, led by Vice President 
Mike Pence, is a historic achievement and another Donald Trump victory, 
which the fake media will distort.
  I am grateful that The Ritedose Corporation is integral in this 
effort for the health and safety of American families.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
  Mr. Speaker, we appreciate the courage of Claudia Tenney.
