                         SECURING OUR ELECTIONS

  (Mr. Joyce of Pennsylvania was recognized to address the House for 5 
minutes.)
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, under President Biden's 
administration, millions of illegal immigrants poured into our country, 
threatening the security of our communities and threatening our 
elections.
  While President Trump is hard at work securing our border, it is now 
time for Congress to secure our elections from noncitizen voters. This 
week, the House will vote on the SAVE Act, legislation that strengthens 
our election laws by requiring proof of citizenship to vote in Federal 
elections.
  The SAVE Act also requires States to create a program to remove 
noncitizens from existing voter rolls. Ensuring safe and secure 
elections should not be a controversial issue. Elections are truly the 
bedrock of our democratic system, and I look forward to strengthening 
this system to ensure only the voices of the American people are 
counted in our elections.


              Congratulating Penn State Men's Hockey Team

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
the Penn State men's hockey team for their overtime victory against the 
University of Connecticut to advance for the first time to the NCAA 
Frozen Four.
  After a slow start to the season, including a 0-9 start in Big Ten 
play, the Nittany Lions persevered to be one of four Big Ten teams in 
the tournament. With their win Sunday evening, they are the last Big 
Ten team standing.
  I congratulate Guy Gadowsky, head coach of the Nittany Lions men's 
hockey team, as well as all of the talented athletes who have worked so 
hard to accomplish this victory and the Penn State fans and students 
who packed the Pegula Ice Arena for every game.
  Now I look forward to watching the Nittany Lions continue their 
success against Boston University on April 10 as they look to advance 
to their first-ever national championship game.


         Increasing Innovative Therapies for Pediatric Patients

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, more than 15,000 children are 
diagnosed with pediatric cancer each year in the United States. Despite 
this, most cancer research is focused on adult cancer patients, leaving 
our kids behind.
  I am proud to be a cosponsor of the Give Kids a Chance Act of 2025, 
legislation directing drug companies researching combination therapies 
for adults to also research them for children. This is a simple piece 
of legislation that supports the advancement of innovative treatments 
while giving hope to thousands of pediatric cancer patients and their 
families.
  As a physician legislator, I understand the importance of developing 
innovative therapies to save the lives of patients around the world, 
and I thank Congressman McCaul for his tireless leadership on this 
issue. Increasing innovative cures will increase positive outcomes for 
all patients, including kids, finally making America once again 
healthy.


           Congratulating DeLeo Games on 80 Years of Success

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor DeLeo 
Games of Altoona, Pennsylvania, for 80 years of success as a 
distributor of amusement-type mechanical games and entertainment 
options in the Commonwealth and for five neighboring States.
  Since its founding in 1945 by Joe DeLeo, Sr., and his wife, 
Josephine, four generations of the DeLeo family have embraced the 
family business that today has an inventory that includes arcade games, 
pinball machines, digital jukeboxes, pool tables, dart boards, skill 
games, and ATMs.
  In addition to supplying the region with entertainment options, DeLeo 
Games has also been active in the community, sponsoring charities like 
the UPMC Breast Care Center and drug prevention programs in Blair 
County.
  I congratulate the entire DeLeo family, including Joe DeLeo, Jr., Tom 
and Colleen DeLeo, and their daughter Katie, on this milestone 
anniversary and offer best wishes for their continued success.
