  Mrs. PELTOLA. Madam Speaker, though I was present and attempted to 
vote, due to technical difficulties, my vote of ``yea'' for H.R. 1948 
was not recorded.
  Had my vote been recorded, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 
530.

                      HONORING PASTOR CARL JOHNSON

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FREDERICA S. WILSON

                       Tuesday, December 20, 2022

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Pastor 
Carl Johnson for his stellar and philanthropic contributions to the 
5000 Role Models of Excellence Project.
  Frederick Douglass once said, ``it is easier to build strong children 
than to repair broken men.'' I thank Pastor Johnson so much for 
believing in our mission of interrupting the school to prison pipeline 
and to guiding our young boys along a cheerfully charted path and 
sending them to college. He is investing in the children of our 
community, and they will be the benefactors of his investment for 
generations to come. He will always be a part of us, and we will always 
be a part of him. I thank him for all the he does on behalf of our 
children.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in honoring Pastor Carl Johnson, a 2023 
Role Model Wall Man with a, generous philanthropic spirit and I ask my 
colleagues from the 117th Congress to join me in honoring this special 
circle of brotherhood.
