                     THE HEARTBEAT OF OUR COMMUNITY

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to give a big shout-
out to some truly exceptional workers, among many, who are the 
heartbeat of our community: the United States postal workers, 
firefighters, and TSA workers.
  Recently, I had the opportunity to meet with U.S. postal workers who 
ensure packages get delivered even in some of our most rural 
communities. Indeed, our U.S. postal workers deserve protection.
  I also visited with firefighters in Greenville and TSA agents at the 
Pitt-Greenville Airport who are doing incredible work, and that is why 
we must ensure pay equity.
  I extend my deepest gratitude for the exceptional service and the 
work that is getting done each day for the American people. Let us 
never forget our essential workers who strengthen the Nation.
