                    FORD IS COMING TO WEST TENNESSEE

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, Ford Motor Company recently announced it is 
going to place a facility to construct electric trucks at the Memphis 
megasite in west Tennessee. This site is 50 miles from Memphis and has 
been developed for the purpose of industrial opportunities for people 
in west Tennessee who need it well, and it affects Memphis.
  We are happy and proud that Ford picked this site for these jobs and 
for this important environmental effort to have electric batteries for 
vehicles and electric trucks. We think Ford will be a great 
representative in Memphis. They have been a good representative in 
Louisville.

  As the Speaker well knows, Louisville shouldn't get everything. 
Memphis deserves something, too. I appreciate Ford coming to Memphis.
