                  HONORING THE MEMORY OF JOEY HANDLON

  (Mr. SHREVE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SHREVE. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to honor the memory of a 
fellow Hoosier, Joey Handlon of Greenwood. He lost his life to fentanyl 
in 2022.
  Joey was deeply loved by his parents, Kathy and Jamison Carrier. They 
have turned their grief into action, sharing Joey's story to help 
prevent other families from experiencing similar heartbreak.
  Last week, on this House floor, I voted for the HALT Fentanyl Act. It 
represents a crucial step to providing law enforcement with the 
necessary tools to keep these deadly drugs off of our streets and to 
save countless lives.
  We must come together to confront this crisis by securing our 
borders, by holding traffickers accountable, and supporting those 
impacted. Together, we can save lives, and, in doing so, honor the 
legacy of Joey Handlon.
