                      INTRODUCING NEW LEGISLATION

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, all of us are concerned about the 
bullying of Communist China. I hope as we move forward, this committee 
that has been voted on will emphasize the bullying, but it will not 
emphasize the negativism that occurred during COVID with ``Kung Flu'' 
and dealing with the intimidation and the increase of Asian hatred and 
violence.
  That is why some of us were concerned enough not to support this 
legislation.
  Mr. Speaker, let me also say that in addition to wanting us to do 
better, I am excited about introducing the Battle Buddy Check 
legislation that has our veterans check on each other, just as if they 
are on the battlefield, to stop the rise of veteran suicide.
  Have a battle buddy. This legislation is hopefully to save lives of 
our soldiers who are now veterans who have done all that they could for 
America.
  Mr. Speaker, I am excited about the introduction of the Lyndon Baines 
Johnson Congressional Gold Medal.

[[Page H147]]

  Lyndon Baines Johnson will be looked upon as one of the greatest 
Presidents, giving opportunity to those who never had it in education 
and healthcare and the environment and criminal justice reform and the 
right to vote and civil rights.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in the Congressional Gold Medal for 
Lyndon Baines Johnson.
