Madam Speaker, in honor of Pride Month, I would like to honor Dr. George Wallace. Dr. George Wallace was born in New Hampshire and moved to central Florida in 1992. He returned to New England in 1995, and after finishing his undergraduate degree, he returned to Florida in 2002. George spent the first half of his career advocating and working with persons with disabilities as a case manager and later turned his passion for arts into a career as a senior leader of the Orlando Fringe. During the Pulse tragedy, George was serving on the board of the LGBT+ Center of Orlando. Knowing that he wanted to continue serving his community, he accepted the role as executive director of The Center in Orlando in 2017. Dr. Wallace has since grown the organization to include a programming center at its satellite office in Kissimmee in our district. George is a very visible leader within central Florida and enjoys travel, photography, and cheering on the Boston Red Sox in his free time. For that, Dr. George Wallace, we honor you.

I have signed on to a bill that has been introduced here in Congress that would require the oil and gas companies, if the price of gas gets too high, to return some of those profits back to the American people.

It has been said often on this Committee, by both sides of the aisle, that we live in the most powerful, most prosperous nation in the history of the world, and that no American family should go hungry.
