              RECOGNIZING FALCONS LANDING 30TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. Subramanyam of Virginia was recognized to address the House for 
5 minutes.)
  Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 30th 
anniversary of Falcons Landing, which has served as a home for veterans 
and families in our community.
  Located in Potomac Falls, Falcons Landing was founded with a simple 
but important mission: to provide a strong community, quality care, and 
dignity for those who spent their lives in service to others.
  Over the last three decades that mission has never changed, and 
today, hundreds of residents call Falcons Landing home. Every day, the 
staff and caregivers at Falcons Landing continue that tradition of 
service through the care and support they provide to residents and 
families.
  What makes Falcons Landing so special is not just the campus itself, 
which is beautiful, but the sense of community, respect, and purpose 
that exists there every single day. Communities like Falcons Landing 
remind us of the importance of taking care of our veterans and their 
families.
  Congratulations to Falcons Landing on this milestone. I hear that 
they are tuning in live today, so hello to everyone at Falcons Landing.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank the staff, caregivers, and leadership for their 
30 years of service to Loudoun County and our veterans community.


             Recognizing May as PSP and CBD Awareness Month

  Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Mr. Speaker, more than 30,000 patients and their 
families live with progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal 
degeneration, PSP and CBD.
  Patients with PSP and CBD may lose the ability to control their 
speech, balance, coordination, and eye movements. Quality of life can 
deteriorate quickly, and most people who suffer from PSP and CBD will 
become dependent on care in just 3 to 4 years. These neurodegenerative 
diseases are as common as ALS, but most people have never heard of 
them.
  They received more attention recently when my predecessor, Jennifer 
Wexton, was diagnosed with PSP herself and worked tirelessly in this 
body to spread awareness about the condition.
  However, PSP and CBD still don't get the same type of recognition or 
funding for research, and there are currently no cures.
  That is why I am introducing a resolution to designate May as PSP and 
CBD awareness month. We must dedicate more resources to finding 
treatments and cures for these neurodegenerative diseases, and we must 
also recognize the courage and the struggles of those who have PSP and 
CBD and build awareness and understanding of the impact on their lives 
and their families' lives.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in recognizing May as 
PSP and CBD awareness month by cosponsoring this resolution.


                 USCIS Faces Largest Backlog in History

  Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Mr. Speaker, I have heard directly from several 
constituents that their green cards and USCIS applications have been 
put on hold, creating major disruptions for families across the 
country.
  This means no work authorizations being issued, jobs lost, college 
admissions denied, and families kept apart, not to mention the impact 
on our economy.
  USCIS has already faced the largest backlog in history with over 11.5 
million cases pending, but USCIS adjudications are now being placed on 
hold.
  Why is that? Because a new policy requires USCIS officers to resubmit 
fingerprint information for most pending cases dated before April 27.
  This creates delays across the agency, and there was no warning of 
this change to applicants. No leeway or flexibility was given to those 
affected, and we have received no explanation of how the resubmission 
process is actually going to improve public safety.
  That is why I am leading a letter to USCIS with Representative 
Krishnamoorthi demanding answers and accountability over these 
adjudication holds.
  USCIS needs the resources to efficiently process applications, not 
additional delays and security theater.
