                    HONORING THE LIFE OF GREG BIFFLE

  (Mr. HARRIGAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HARRIGAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Greg 
Biffle, who passed away last month.
  Greg was known internationally for his NASCAR career, but back home 
in North Carolina, people came to know him for his heart and 
specifically his actions after Hurricane Helene.
  When roads were washed out, and communities were cut off, Greg used 
his own helicopter to reach the hardest hit areas. He flew multiple 
missions a day, delivering generators, food, water, and medical 
supplies, and he helped evacuate people who could not be reached by any 
other means. Volunteers on the ground have said that when they told 
Greg a family needed help, he made it happen, often within hours.
  Greg's life was centered on his family, and this loss also took his 
wife, Cristina, and his children, Emma and Ryder, as well as three 
friends. They are all deeply missed by everyone who knew them.
  As we are here in Washington today, our hearts are back home. On the 
racetrack or in the air, Greg Biffle will be remembered exactly as he 
should be, as a hero.
