                           MS AWARENESS WEEK

  (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. Madam Speaker, Briana Landis is a 
Greenville, North Carolina, native and a remarkable researcher living 
with multiple sclerosis.
  Briana was diagnosed with MS at the age of 4 but has never let the 
disease define her. Instead, she is an MS advocate and uses her 
diagnosis to help others.
  Congress must support individuals like Briana by increasing research 
funding through initiatives like the Multiple Sclerosis Research 
Program. Additionally, we must work towards expanding telehealth 
services for those who rely on Medicare for their healthcare needs.
  In honor of MS Awareness Week, I proudly wear orange for my dear 
friend, Briana, and all those fighting against MS.
  Let us reaffirm our commitment to funding research, improving 
treatment

options, and ensuring access to healthcare for our most vulnerable 
patients.
  Madam Speaker, I admire Briana's enormous strengths.
