moylan, for five minutes. mr. moylan: mr. speaker, on tuesday after, guam, a territory of the united states, my district and my home, will be moving to condition of readiness one as the typhoon makes its way to the marianas region. they are expected to bring tropical storm force winds to guam as early as tuesday afternoon with the possibility of typhoon force winds to 81 to 100 miles per hour by wednesday morning along with gusts reaching 125 miles per hour. this along with heavy rainfall certainly places guam and the northern mariana islands in the serious predicament with major natural disaster at our doorstep. while our community is resilient and has overcome such perils as mother nature many times in the past, when it comes to a typhoon of this magnitude, a direct impact over any of the islands will sadly lead to severe damages of homes, businesses, crops, and livelihoods and will certainly lead us to a long road towards recovery. under these sacred halls, i humbly ask my colleagues to pray for guam and the marianas and t

moylan for five minutes. mr. moylan: mr. speaker, as we observe national nurses week, i rise to honor our medical professionals on guam and the incredible work they do for our island community. nurses are an integral part of our health care system, providing patients with compassionate care and support. shown next to me are some of guam's nurses tending to the well-being of our island residents. as the back boin of our health care system -- backbone of our health care system, nurses work tirelessly around the clock to ensure everyone receives the best possible treatment. oftentimes they sacrifice their own well-being and comfort to provide excellent care to their patients. this could mean working long hours, dealing with difficult individuals or managing stressful situations. not to forget on guam and everywhere else, nurses were at the forefront of the fight against covid-19. putting their own lives at risk to save others. so today and every day we honor our nurses for their hard work and dedication. thank you. happy nation

moylan. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from guam is recognized. mr. moylan: i rise in support of h.r. 2 because protecting america's borders also means protecting my community. guam is geographically closer to china than any other part of the united states. for that reason i view border security as an important piece of national security. while securing the border, h.r. 2 also makes it easier for employers to hire h-2-a workers. i support these efforts because the similar h-2-b visa program is an irreplaceable source of labor for the department of defense. and is absolutely necessary to supplement guam's construction labor force which ultimately serves the purpose of protecting our nation. i thank my colleagues for their work on h.r. 2. mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. nadler: mr. speaker, i now yield two minutes to the distinguished gentlelady from texas, ms. garcia. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from texas is recognized. ms. garcia: mr
