  HONORING NOAH SHAHNAVAZ AND SEARA BURTON DURING NATIONAL POLICE WEEK

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Indiana (Mr. Pence) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize two fallen Hoosier 
police officers who were killed in the line of duty while serving our 
community last year.
  Noah Shahnavaz of Elwood and Seara Burton of Richmond were honored 
for National Police Week this year, and their names were added to the 
National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial right here in Washington, 
D.C.
  Noah was a 5-year Army veteran and had been with the police 
department for 11 months. Seara was a 4-year member of the Wayne County 
Police Department and was the first female canine officer in the 
department's history.
  We will never forget Noah and Seara's service and sacrifice to our 
Indiana community and our entire Nation.
  May our brave fallen police officers rest in peace.


                      Congratulating Ms. Munjuluri

  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ms. Munjuluri, a 
junior at Columbus North High School, on winning the State of Indiana 
Poetry Out Loud Competition and then going on to become the 2023 Poetry 
Out Loud National Champion.
  She has truly made Indiana's Sixth District proud, and she has a 
bright future ahead.
  I congratulate Ms. Munjuluri, and I wish her the best of luck in all 
her future professional and personal endeavors.


                     Honoring Officer Dustin Moody

  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today because I would like to honor 
Officer Dustin Moody on the House floor.
  Officer Moody was seriously injured in the line of duty, paralyzing 
him from the waist down just last year.
  Before his injury, he had been serving in law enforcement for 10 
years and had been with the Trafalgar Police Department since December 
2020.
  Throughout his career as a police officer, Officer Moody was 
dedicated to protecting our communities in Johnson County, Indiana.
  God bless Officer Moody, and I thank all our brave Hoosier police 
officers for their service.


               Recognizing the 317 Ryders Motorcycle Club

  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 317 Ryders 
Motorcycle Club, which is a group of motorcyclists in Shelby County, 
Indiana, for the philanthropic work that they do.
  Since they were founded in 2002, the 317 Ryders Motorcycle Club's 
mission has been to provide fun motorcycle rides for its members while 
at the same time giving back to the Hoosier community.
  I thank the 317 Ryders Motorcycle Club for all the funding and 
volunteering work that they do for Indiana's Sixth District, and I look 
forward to seeing what more the 317 group does.


                            Energy Concerns

  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to raise concerns with the EPA's 
newest attempt to create the Clean Power Plan 2.0.
  By setting unattainable emission targets and relying on untested 
technologies, this rule will raise utility bills and threaten the 
reliability of our electric grid. Once again, EPA is driving out 
affordable baseload power plants to fulfill their rush to their green 
agenda.
  We are already seeing a reliability crisis play out across the 
country, and EPA is doubling down on their attempts to regulate fossil 
fuels out of existence.
  It is past time for this administration to face reality and put our 
Nation on a sustainable path forward to keep the lights on.


                     Green Agenda Will Raise Costs

  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to raise awareness of the 
direction of this administration's American energy strategy.
  Just last week, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation 
again raised alarms about potential blackouts this summer.
  The administration is making a bad situation worse by continuing to 
roll out unattainable and unworkable emission standards. At the same 
time, agencies are forcing electrification of everything from cars to 
stoves.

[[Page H2506]]

  Mr. Speaker, this rush to a green agenda will raise the costs to turn 
the lights on, cook your meals, or heat your homes. Hoosiers and all 
Americans will be the ones to foot the bill for an incoherent energy 
strategy.
