                DELIVERING ON PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PROMISES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Joyce) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, President Trump 
was inaugurated for his second term as President. Now, it is time for 
us to deliver on his promises.
  The American people overwhelmingly supported President Trump's 
candidacy, a candidacy that was built on restoring the American Dream, 
strengthening our national security, and making America once again 
energy dominant.
  I have no doubt that President Trump will continue to do the work 
that we have already started right here in the House of Representatives 
to Make America Great Again. The golden age of America does start right 
now.


           President Trump's Policies Resonate with Americans

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, after the inauguration, 
President Trump shared his plans for the American people.
  During his speech, the President made it clear that the days of a 
weak America are over, and now, we will return to being that shining 
city on a hill. The policies that President Trump laid out in his 
speech resonate with the American people.
  More than his policies, his message resonates with Americans 
throughout this great land. It is a message of strength on the 
international stage, a message of dominance in the production of 
energy, and a message of safety on our city streets.
  President Trump's speech is why the American people overwhelmingly 
returned him to the White House.


                    Laying Out New Vision for Nation

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, President Trump has laid out 
a vision for our Nation over the past few months, from the campaign 
trail to his first day back in office, a vision that he took action on 
immediately after being sworn in by signing numerous executive orders 
to secure our border, lower costs for the American public, and drain 
the swamp.
  President Trump also shared his support for ending California's out-
of-touch electric vehicle mandate. I strongly support this action and 
look forward to working with President Trump to pass my legislation, 
the Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act, to protect the 
individual consumer's right to drive the type of vehicle that they 
want.


                     Preserving Life at All Stages

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, thousands of pro-life 
advocates will be coming to Washington for the annual March for Life 
this week. Like these fierce advocates, I firmly believe that all life 
is worth protecting.
  This week, I was proud to be an original cosponsor of H.R. 21, the 
Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. This important piece of 
legislation will require medical attention for children who survive 
botched abortions and impose strong penalties for those who do not 
comply.
  Life is truly a gift from God, and I will always work to preserve the 
sanctity of human life.
