               PRESIDENT TRUMP BRINGING BACK INVESTMENTS

  (Mr. Joyce of Pennsylvania was recognized to address the House for 5 
minutes.)
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, during President Trump's 
inaugural address, he spoke of an aggressive artificial intelligence 
agenda to keep America competitive with the Chinese Communist Party.
  Just a few months later, President Trump announced a historic $1.4 
trillion investment into our economy from the United Arab Emirates. 
This investment will support American artificial intelligence 
infrastructure. It will support semiconductors made in America. It will 
support energy production from America. It will support American 
manufacturing.
  Our two nations worked closely together during President Trump's 
first term to bring peace to the Middle East through the historic 
Abraham Accords. Now, with President Trump's leadership back in the 
White House, I am encouraged to see this partnership grow even stronger 
with this investment.
  President Trump promised to bring investment back to the United 
States, and he is already delivering on this promise just 2 months into 
his term.


                Agriculture Is Critical in Pennsylvania

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, as a leading producer of 
dairy products in the country, Pennsylvania dairymen know just how 
important food additives are for the safety of our food supply. 
However, the FDA's approval process for these additives has resulted in 
a decades-long approval process that stifles innovation and leaves 
American farmers falling behind their international competitors.
  I am proud to join a bipartisan group of Members on the Innovative 
FEED Act to streamline this process and cut the approval time down by 
years.
  Nutrient supplements keep our food supply safe and our livestock 
healthy and allow American farmers to stay competitive on the 
international market.
  Agriculture is a critical industry in the Commonwealth of 
Pennsylvania, and I am proud to help lead this fight in Congress to 
give farmers access to the innovative products that they need to 
compete.


             Recognizing the Life and Legacy of Lloyd Peck

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
remarkable life and distinguished legacy of Lloyd Peck, a proud 
veteran, a beloved community leader, and a true American patriot who 
passed away on March 17.
  Lloyd Peck served as a first lieutenant in the United States Marine 
Corps during the Korean war. In civilian life, Lloyd filled many 
various roles as an advocate for veterans. In addition to serving as 
the commander of the Blair County War Veterans Council, Lieutenant Peck 
was a founding member of the Blair County Honor Guard, the chief parade 
marshal for the Memorial Day and the Veterans Day parades in Altoona, 
and a volunteer at the James E. Van Zandt Medical Center, where he 
worked tirelessly to help local veterans receive their benefits.
  In the true spirit of Semper Fidelis, Lieutenant Peck continually 
demonstrated his steadfast loyalty to his fellow veterans and 
continually worked to help our Nation become that more perfect Union.
  As we remember Lloyd Peck, we also keep in mind his loved ones, 
including his wife, Judy; his daughter, Heather; and his sister, Betty. 
We offer them our condolences and our heartfelt prayers.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me, and all members of Pennsylvania's 13th 
Congressional District, in remembering the incredible life and legacy 
of Lieutenant Lloyd Peck.
