                            FIRED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP

      (Mrs. FOUSHEE asked and was given permission to address the House for
    1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
      Mrs. FOUSHEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as the Representative of
    North Carolina's Fourth Congressional District, and the home of the
    Research Triangle Park, to share the story of a Federal scientist, in
    their own words, who was fired by President Trump and Elon Musk.

           I worked for the Department of Health and Human Services. I
         was responsible for leading technical oversight over the
         Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network in order to
         ensure patient safety, maximal usage of donated organs,
         continued confidence in the donor system, efficient spending
         of taxpayer dollars, and a secure, modern technology
         infrastructure.

      These aggressive and sweeping mass firings of hundreds of thousands
    of Federal employees will have profound and devastating consequences
    across the country.
      Our dedicated civil servants work tirelessly each day to deliver
    essential services, conduct critical scientific research, and ensure
    the safety of our communities. They deserve better.
