ENSURING FAIR ELECTIONS

  (Mr. STUTZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STUTZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the SAVE
America Act introduced by Representative Roy and Senator Lee.
  In a few weeks, the United States will celebrate its 250th
anniversary. One thing that has sustained American democracy since its
founding is elections. Our Founders created a government by the people
and for the people, and it is imperative that our elections continue to
represent the views of American citizens only.
  The SAVE America Act will do exactly that: ensure that our country's
elections are decided only by American citizens and not foreign
nationals.
  Indiana first enacted voter ID laws in 2005, and it is time the rest
of the country did the same. Over 80 percent of Americans support voter
ID and showing proof of citizenship to vote.
  Mr. Speaker, the Senate cannot keep stalling on this commonsense
election reform. Senate colleagues must restore the talking filibuster
and pass the SAVE America Act as soon as possible. Our country's future
depends on it.

                        FIGHTING FOR EVERY WOMAN

  (Ms. DEXTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. DEXTER. Mr. Speaker, the decision to have a child is one of the
most personal decisions a human can make.
  As a physician, I have sat with patients during some of the hardest
moments of their lives. I know these deeply personal medical decisions
should be guided by science, evidence, and the trusted relationship
between a physician and their patient, not by politicians or judges,
and not by radical politicians and judges obsessed with policing
women's bodies.
  Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe, more than 20 States have
banned or restricted access to abortion, leaving millions of women with
no legal right to make decisions about their own bodies. That is a
moral failure.
  Abortion is not a privilege; it is essential healthcare. Every
individual in this country should have bodily autonomy--no exceptions
and no excuses.
  In Oregon, the right to abortion is protected, and I won't stop
fighting for every woman, every young girl, and every person in this
country to have full control of their own body.

                 HONORING 150 YEARS OF BURDETT, KANSAS

  (Mr. MANN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MANN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the community of Burdett,
Kansas, as it celebrates its sesquicentennial.
  Located in Pawnee County, Burdett is a central Kansas town with a
proud history and strong sense of community. For 150 years, the people
of Burdett have helped carry forward the values that help make Kansas
such a special place: faith, family, hard work, personal
responsibility, and caring for their neighbors.
  Burdett also holds a unique place in American history as the
birthplace of Clyde Tombaugh, one of the most significant scientific
figures ever to come from our State. Born on a farm outside of Burdett
in 1906, he was a self-taught astronomer who built telescopes using
farm equipment and went on to discover Pluto on February 18, 1930.
  That is an incredible legacy, and it is a point of great pride for
Burdett, Pawnee County, and the entire State of Kansas.
  Mr. Speaker, as Burdett celebrates 150 years, I congratulate the
community on this milestone. I thank the anniversary committee for its
work and join Kansans in honoring the town's history, people, and
lasting contribution to American science.

                           FIND OUR FAMILIES

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, under the Trump administration, families are
searching desperately for their loved ones who have gone missing in ICE
and Border Patrol custody.
  Families don't know if they are safe or even if they are still in the
country. Lawyers can't find their clients, and children can't find
their parents.
  This is by design. The administration is making it impossible to find
our family members and robbing people of their right to due process,
forcing them to lose contact with their loved ones and legal counsel.
  I am going to fix that by introducing the Find Our Families Act,
which requires the Department of Homeland Security to maintain an
accurate and more detailed online detainee locator system for all
individuals detained by ICE and Border Patrol. It requires families and
lawyers to be notified when the individual is being transferred,
including for urgent medical care. It creates penalties for facilities
that do not comply.
  Mr. Speaker, no one should vanish in government custody, and I urge
my colleagues to support the Find Our Families Act today.

                      PROTECTING SANCTITY OF LIFE

  (Mr. KENNEDY of Utah asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KENNEDY of Utah. Mr. Speaker, 4 years ago this week, the Supreme
Court ruled in Dobbs that the Constitution contains no right to an
abortion.
  The Court returned this question to the people and their elected
representatives. That was the right decision.
  I came to Congress after years as a physician. Firsthand, I have seen
the heartbeat of an infant on an ultrasound. I have placed newborns in
the arms of their mothers. Protecting life was my job, and I take that
same duty with me onto this floor.
  Because of the Dobbs decision, the States and all of us are made free
to uphold our duty and protect the sanctity of life.
  There are children in my home State of Utah and across this country,
as well as my family, who are growing up today because of those who
fought for them. They are the future of this country, and we are better
for having them in it.
  Mr. Speaker, we owe every mother and child a country that welcomes
and continues to protect life.

            HONORING LIVES LOST TO DENIALS OF ABORTION CARE

  (Ms. PRESSLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
  Ms. PRESSLEY. Mr. Chair, I rise with a heavy heart to remember the
women who have died because they were denied essential abortion care
after the devastating Dobbs decision unleashed abortion care bans
across our country.
  I rise today in remembrance of Amber Nicole Thurman, Candi Miller,
Ciji Graham, Josseli Barnica, Yeni Alvarez-Estrada Glick, Nevaeh Crain,
Tierra Walker, Taysha Wilkinson-Sobieski, Porsha Ngumezi, and Adriana
Smith.

  Devastatingly, I fear there are others, too, who have lost their
lives, though we do not publicly know their names.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to observe a moment of silence for those who have
died because they were denied essential abortion care.

                              {time}  1730
                           CALIFORNIA BUDGET

  (Mr. GALLAGHER asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GALLAGHER. Mr. Speaker, California is doing it again. They just
passed a budget which is raising taxes on healthcare plans and on
business software. At a time when Californians and people throughout
this Nation are struggling with the high cost of living, California is
making it even harder.
  I rise to condemn this action that is hurting everyday Californians.
What a stark contrast to what we are doing here as House Republicans in
Congress.
  We are now coming up on the 1-year anniversary of cutting taxes for
working people in this country. Now, people are getting the benefits of
no tax on tips and no tax on overtime. The average refund is $3,600,
vital money that is needed in this time.
  That is the kind of leadership we need, not the kind of leadership
that is being shown out of Gavin Newsom in California. We will continue
that work here in the House. I am proud to be part of that work, and we
have much more to do in the weeks to come.
