          WELCOMING NONSTOP FLIGHT FROM INDIANAPOLIS TO DUBLIN

  (Mr. SHREVE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SHREVE. Mr. Speaker, Indiana is at the Crossroads of America. The 
Indianapolis International Airport is in my district. It is one of the 
reasons we proudly hold the claim to the distinction of Crossroads of 
America.
  This past month, Indianapolis International Airport welcomed a 
nonstop transatlantic flight to one of our gates. The flight from 
Indianapolis to Dublin on Aer Lingus marked the start of daily nonstop 
service to this European gateway and onward connections throughout 
Europe.
  Importantly, it represents an important economic development tool. 
Indianapolis has long been recognized as one of our country's best 
midsize airports. We completed a multiyear, multibillion-dollar 
infrastructure project to ensure that Indianapolis is prepared for our 
growing economy.
  In addition to 53 nonstop designations served by Indianapolis, we are 
the home of FedEx's national hub, only the second largest in the 
country for FedEx. Our maiden Aer Lingus flight is a testament to the 
strength of Indianapolis and reflects the global reach of our Hoosier 
economy.
  I look forward to continuing my work to enhance IND and other 
airports across Indiana's Sixth District.
