                     FOSTERING A PROSPEROUS AMERICA

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Joyce) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, during the last 5 months of 
President Biden's term, he imposed more than 1,500 regulations on the 
American people. Our policies should be focused on fostering economic 
growth for small businesses, not weighing them down with more 
regulations.
  This week, the House will vote on the Midnight Rules Relief Act. This 
legislation gives Congress the ability to overturn multiple regulations 
in one action.
  Immediately after President Trump was sworn in, he got to work. He 
got to work improving government efficiency, and now it is time for my 
colleagues in the House and in the Senate to follow suit so that the 
American people can once again prosper.


                       Protecting Law Enforcement

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, over the last 4 years, our 
Nation saw millions of illegal aliens stream across our borders. In 
recent weeks, my colleagues and I in the House passed legislation to 
crack down on criminal aliens to better protect women and girls and to 
fight back against the fentanyl crisis.
  Today, it is time to protect the brave law enforcement officers 
working to clean up our disastrous borders. H.R. 35, the Agent Raul 
Gonzalez Officer Safety Act, creates new criminal offenses for those 
who flee law enforcement at our borders and includes mandatory prison 
time for chases that cause the loss of human life.
  This is commonsense legislation that will save the lives of our law 
enforcement officers and make the streets safe for all Americans. I 
look forward to supporting its passage here in the House and the 
positive impact that this legislation will have on all of America.


               Honoring Shatzer Fruit Market and Orchards

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Shatzer 
Fruit Market and Orchards in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, for their 
exceptional showing at the 2025 Pennsylvania Farm Show. Owned by 
fourth-generation growers Dwight and Lisa Mickey, the Shatzer Fruit 
Market won two best-of-class awards, in addition to more than three 
dozen first-place awards. Over the years, Shatzer's has won over 3,000 
ribbons and prizes for its fruit entries.
  Having personally visited Shatzer Fruit Market and Orchards, I have 
seen their enduring commitment to this industry and why they are a 
favored stop in Franklin County for delicious peaches and apples.
  On behalf of everyone in Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District, 
I congratulate Shatzer Fruit Market and Orchards on their impressive 
showing at the Pennsylvania Farm Show, and I look forward to seeing 
their continued success in the orchards and in the marketplace.
