             CELEBRATING NATIONAL TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK

  (Mr. MRVAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MRVAN. Mr. Speaker, as we celebrate National Teacher Appreciation 
Week, I rise today to recognize and honor the hardworking educators in 
Indiana's First Congressional District.
  I am grateful for all of our teachers who show up each and every day 
with the sole commitment to inspire and provide students with lifelong 
skills. Teachers' dedication and commitment to guiding our next 
generation through their educational journey and into thriving career 
paths is heroic.
  All teachers deserve to be adequately compensated for this tremendous 
work, and that is why I am a proud cosponsor of the American Teacher 
Act, which would support efforts to increase teacher salaries.
  Mr. Speaker, I look forward to working with all of my colleagues to 
advance this legislation, and I ask my colleagues to join me today in 
expressing gratitude to all educators in northwest Indiana and across 
our country.
