                   SUPPORTING ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL

  (Mr. Joyce of Pennsylvania was recognized to address the House for 5 
minutes.)
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, last week, House committees 
moved the last sections of President Trump's one big, beautiful bill 
out of their respective committees.
  In the Energy and Commerce Committee, I was proud to support our 
legislation to unleash American energy, foster innovation in our 
telecommunications industry, and strengthen Medicaid programs by 
ensuring that it works best for the intended groups: children, pregnant 
women, seniors, and those with disabilities.
  This legislation also fulfills President Trump's campaign promises of 
ending taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security, and permanently 
extends President Trump's 2017 tax cuts, which ushered in unprecedented 
growth.
  This one big, beautiful bill also further backs President Trump's 
incredible progress securing our southern border by funding 700 miles 
of new border wall construction, nearly 1,000 miles of new river 
barriers, and additional frontline personnel at our southern border.
  President Trump's historic victory in November came with a mandate 
from the American people. Now, it is our time in Congress to fulfill 
these promises, and I look forward to doing just that on the House 
floor this week by passing the one big, beautiful bill.


                      indicting the sinaloa cartel

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, just 1 month into President 
Trump's term in office, he signed a historic executive order to 
designate the Sinaloa Cartel as a foreign terrorist organization.
  This action allows for further collaboration among law enforcement 
agencies and additional resources from the Federal Government to track 
down and punish these criminals.
  President Trump also started a narcoterrorism unit within the 
Department of Justice. Its sole focus is tracking down and capturing 
the cartel leaders who have ravaged our Nation with their poisons.
  Just last week, the Trump administration formally indicted the 
leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel on charges of narcoterrorism, drug 
trafficking, and money laundering.
  While this might be the first action taken by the unit, it sends a 
clear message to the cartel leaders who have waged war on the citizens 
of this great country by trafficking deadly poisons that have taken the 
lives of millions of Americans.
  This ends now, and I fully support President Trump's actions to hold 
these terrorists to account.


        Congratulating Bedford High School Battle Robotics Teams

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate Kowen Long, Bryce Wentz, Gavin Glass, Greg Covert, and 
Sean Cessna with the Bedford High School battle robotics team on 
winning the national championship at the National Robotics League 
Tournament in Springfield, Ohio.
  Participants in the competition design, build, and then compete with 
their robotic creations. Through this experience, students learn how to 
work on a team while also gaining practical, hands-on experience in 
science and technology, engineering, and math.
  Two additional teams representing Bedford High School also had 
impressive showings, finishing in the top 15 at the event.
  I commend the Bedford High School students on all three robotics 
teams and the teams' advisers, Cody Buterbaugh and Wes Tritt, for their 
achievements that show their skills in mechanical and electrical 
engineering. Their teamwork and successful application of critical 
thinking, project management, and communication skills showcase the 
value of hands-on technical education.


                          thanking nancy bull

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
incredible career of almost two decades of my district director, Nancy 
Bull, who tirelessly advocates for the people of Pennsylvania's 13th 
Congressional District.
  Nancy started her career with Representative Bill Shuster in 2008 as 
a constituent services representative before becoming deputy district 
director

[[Page H2110]]

in 2016. In 2019, I was honored when Nancy joined my team as director 
of constituent services before later becoming the district director in 
2023.
  Nancy has truly elevated my ability to connect with and serve my 
constituents. During the time she has spent with Pennsylvania-13, she 
has developed strong relationships with my constituents, meaning she 
has that wealth of understanding and knowledge that allows her to 
connect with so many individuals in southwestern and south central PA.
  As I travel throughout Pennsylvania-13, one thing remains a constant: 
Everyone knows and respects Nancy Bull. They do this because she cares 
and listens to the constituents.

  After her stellar career of serving fellow Pennsylvanians, Nancy is 
retiring at the end of this week to spend more time with her family and 
with her fiance, Eric. I thank Nancy. I thank her for her years of hard 
work and dedication, and I thank her for helping so many constituents 
in Pennsylvania-13. We will miss her, but we will never be far away.
