                  PALM SPRINGS IVF FACILITY EXPLOSION

  (Mr. RUIZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RUIZ. Mr. Speaker, despite the deliberate and targeted domestic 
terrorist bomb attack at the American Reproductive Centers IVF facility 
in Palm Springs, Dr. Abdullah, his staff, and all eggs and embryos are 
safe, thank God.
  Palm Springs is strong. The people are beautiful, resilient, 
inclusive, accepting, and cherish their community. All law enforcement 
and first responders acted with courage, professionalism, and 
excellence.
  I and all the people in the surrounding communities and in Palm 
Springs thank Police Chief Andy Mills, Fire Chief Paul Alvarado, FBI 
Assistant Director Akil Davis, and all law enforcement officers, first 
responders, and healthcare professionals who responded swiftly and 
effectively.
  Thanks to their rapid response, all those injured in the bombing have 
been released from the hospital, and Palm Springs is safe.
  To the people of Palm Springs, my heart is with them, and I stand by 
them.
