       RECOGNIZING RICHARD NIXON PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY AND MUSEUM

  (Mrs. Kim of California was recognized to address the House for 5 
minutes.)
  Mrs. KIM. Mr. Speaker, in just a short time, our Nation will 
celebrate America's 250th birthday. This is a moment to reflect on how 
far we have come as a nation and the shared ideals that have carried us 
through challenge and triumph.
  America 250 is not simply a milestone on the calendar. It is a call 
to remember the innovation, perseverance, and sacrifice that have 
shaped our Nation, and to keep fighting for the American Dream that has 
stewarded freedom for generations of Americans.
  I rise today to recognize the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and 
Museum in Yorba Linda for helping lead this nationwide commemoration. 
Its new exhibit, ``America 250: A More Perfect Union,'' invites 
visitors to walk through the defining chapters of our shared history, 
not as distant events, but as living lessons about who we are and who 
we aspire to be.
  The Nixon Library has long been a cultural and educational 
cornerstone in California's 40th Congressional District, enriching our 
community through its commitment to historical stewardship and civic 
education. As America prepares for this anniversary, the Nixon Library 
is once again stepping up to inspire reflection, unity, and renewed 
purpose.
  Today, I encourage Americans of all ages to take a moment to engage 
with our history, to remember the courage of those who came before us, 
and to ensure the spirit of 1776 continues to guide our path forward.


           Supporting Individuals Living with Alopecia Areata

  Mrs. KIM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring attention to the 
millions of Americans, including many in my district, who live with 
alopecia areata. It is an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss and 
often comes with significant emotional and mental health challenges.
  Alopecia affects people of every age and background, and for many, 
the journey can feel isolating or misunderstood. No one should face 
this condition alone. Raising awareness helps ensure that patients and 
families receive the understanding, compassion, and support they 
deserve.
  Today, I recognize the strength of those living with alopecia and the 
loved ones who stand beside them. Their resilience reminds us of the 
importance of community and the need to continue fostering empathy and 
inclusion for all who are navigating visible and invisible health 
challenges.
