                    AMERICA MUST LEAD 5G INNOVATION

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Joyce) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, it has never been more 
critical that the United States lead the way on 5G innovation.
  Not only would an expanded 5G network provide critical services and 
opportunities for Americans living in rural areas, but it would also 
provide the United States with the ability to continue leading the way 
on the development of wireless technology.
  Allowing our adversaries to advance in future generations of wireless 
without us would erode our privacy, compromise the security of our 
networks, and lead to increased foreign influence in our 
communications.
  The Promoting United States Wireless Leadership Act would help the 
U.S. take the necessary steps to safeguard our technological 
advantages. By bringing key leaders and stakeholders to the table, this 
bill would encourage a unified approach to set standards for all 5G 
networks.
  By standardizing our approach, we can help ensure a greater certainty 
for both the provider and consumer.
  As we look ahead, reliable high-speed connectivity will be vital for 
students who are doing their homework, for businesses connecting with 
their customers, for farmers in the fields, and for patients using 
telemedicine to heal from home.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to support this legislation 
and help ensure that our wireless technologies continue to expand and 
serve the needs of the American people.


     Congratulating Juniata College Eagles Women's Volleyball Team

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate 
the Juniata College women's volleyball team on once again winning the 
NCAA Division III national championship and on their incredible 
achievement of winning 97 matches in a row.
  This record number of consecutive wins is the result of 
determination. Under the leadership of Coach Heather Pavlik, the 
Juniata Eagles once again completed their season with a perfect 35-0 
record.
  Equally as important as the team's success in volleyball is their 
success in the classroom.
  Juniata's commitment to academic excellence is an example of how 
student athletes can make incredible achievements both on and off the 
court.
  On behalf of everyone in Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District, 
I am proud to once again congratulate the women's volleyball team at 
Juniata on another outstanding season, and I look forward to their 
continued success.


           Executive Overreach During Presidential Transition

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, as the Biden administration 
comes to an end, we have seen continued attempts by the far left to 
enact major regulatory policies just as this administration is on its 
way out the door.
  The American people have spoken and elected President Donald J. Trump 
to return to the White House. This is not the time for President Biden 
to take executive actions that provide student loan bailouts or 
implement Green New Deal policies.
  If President Biden takes these executive actions at a time when the 
voters have made it clear that they are ready for change, we need to 
ensure that these rules are not permanent.
  The Midnight Rules Relief Act would ensure that the American people 
are heard during a Presidential transition by allowing the 
Congressional Review Act to be used to overturn multiple Federal Rules 
in a single resolution.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to support the Midnight 
Rules Relief Act to put a stop to President Biden's executive 
overreach.
