                      IN RECOGNITION OF DAWN BAKER

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Savannah, Georgia, WTOC news anchor Dawn Baker for appearing in this 
year's ``CNN Heroes'' special. In the special, she was recognized as 
the first person to participate in phase 3 of the COVID-19 vaccine 
trial in the U.S.
  Local news anchors have thousands of viewers, so they have a great 
responsibility to serve as positive leaders in their community. By 
demonstrating the importance and safety of the coronavirus vaccine, 
which is now being distributed across the country, Dawn has exemplified 
the qualities of a true leader.
  However, this is not the first time Dawn has been a hero. Throughout 
her career in journalism, she has blessed countless lives through her 
dedication to improving her community and the State of Georgia.
  Mr. Speaker, I take this time to thank all heroes like Dawn Baker for 
stepping up to the plate during an unprecedented time and demonstrating 
commitment to a better, healthier America.
