            PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH AGENDA

  (Mr. Joyce of Pennsylvania was recognized to address the House for 5 
minutes.)
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to speak on 
the importance of the National Defense Authorization Act that I proudly 
supported on the House floor just last week.
  This bill will implement President Trump's Peace Through Strength 
agenda by restoring our military's lethality and accountability. 
Components of the NDAA will bring an end to the dangerous, leftwing 
ideologies that have been incorporated into our military. For far too 
long, woke-ism has been prioritized in our military. This bill signals 
the change that once again puts our servicemembers first.
  Additionally, the NDAA secures made-in-America military equipment to 
provide our troops with the best tools that are made by hardworking 
American hands, not by foreign companies. This bill tackles our 
Nation's weak supply chains and diminishing manufacturing by bringing 
American industries back to the table.
  This legislation will save billions of taxpayer dollars by reducing 
inefficient and unnecessary funding for defense programs. The NDAA 
builds on efforts started in the Working Families Tax Cuts Act to 
stimulate our economy and to bring jobs back home.

        Addressing Misleading Advertising for Prescription Drugs

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, President Trump took 
executive actions last week to address misleading prescription drug 
advertisements.
  This action will direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to 
ensure that full and accurate information is available on the risks 
associated with prescription drugs. It works to prohibit pharmaceutical 
companies from promoting drug usage over lifestyle changes.
  This will also eliminate the inappropriate intervention between a 
patient and the patient's doctor. Unregulated prescription drug 
advertising often misinforms the public about a drug's full risks and 
potential benefits.
  This initiative by President Trump delivers on a promise to put 
Americans first by promoting a high degree of transparency. I strongly 
support President Trump's action to address this issue to ensure that 
patients can once again rebuild their trust in the American health 
system.


   Honoring Centennial Anniversary of Fayette Volunteer Fire Company

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
Fayette Volunteer Fire Company of McAlisterville in Juniata County, 
Pennsylvania, for their 100 years of service.
  The selfless spirit of the officers and members has characterized the 
company since it was founded in the summer of 1925. Whether responding 
to calls, participating in training, or sponsoring fundraising, these 
incredible volunteers engage at the highest level of commitment.
  A faithful observance of duty has been the keystone of the Fayette 
Fire Company's mission. These initiatives will continue to positively 
influence current and future members.
  On behalf of everyone in the 13th Congressional District, I 
congratulate the Fayette Fire Company of Juniata County on its 100th 
anniversary and express my personal thanks for their distinguished 
legacy of community service.


      Recognizing 75th Anniversary of Williamsburg Public Library

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
the milestone anniversary of the Williamsburg Public Library in Blair 
County, Pennsylvania, as they celebrate 75 years of service.
  The methods that Blair County residents use to access information 
have changed since the library system was established in 1950. However, 
the mission of the library system remains the same: to provide 
materials and information services for lifelong learning, enrichment, 
and reading.
  It has often been stated that libraries aren't about the books but 
about the people. Nowhere is that perspective more clearly evident, in 
form and function, than in the Williamsburg Public Library.
  On behalf of everyone in Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District, 
I congratulate the residents of the borough of Williamsburg on this 
incredible milestone and express gratitude to the library team for 
their enduring commitment to promoting the joys of lifelong learning 
through reading.
