                 GIVING CREDIT TO OPERATION WARP SPEED

  (Mr. GUEST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUEST. Mr. Speaker, since the outbreak of the coronavirus in the 
United States, the promise of the development of a vaccine has allowed 
Americans to remain optimistic in the midst of tragedy. Now, after 
months of sacrifice, the coronavirus vaccine has been found. This 
accomplishment would not have been possible without the hard work of 
scientists working around the world and the support by the tremendous 
feat of government innovation known as Operation Warp Speed.
  Now, following the discovery of the vaccine, we must focus on the 
production and distribution of the vaccine to the American people and 
to those across the globe.
  Public officials are optimistic that distribution of the vaccine 
could begin in a matter of weeks, a massive jump forward in the process 
to rid the world of this dangerous virus. This production of millions 
of dosages of vaccine will not happen overnight, but thanks to 
Operation Warp Speed and the Trump administration, the vaccine will 
reach vulnerable Americans faster than anticipated, saving thousands of 
lives in the process.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank all who helped advance this extraordinary 
accomplishment.
