Congratulating Fullerton School District on Turnip the Beet Award

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to honor Fullerton School District for receiving the USDA's Turnip the Beet award.

The Turnip the Beet award recognizes schools that go above and beyond to provide high-quality meals for children during the summer. Without initiatives like this, many students would not have access to nutritional meals through the day during the summer.

Not only did Fullerton School District win the Turnip the Beet award in 2023, but they also are one of seven California school districts to win the gold.

I congratulate the Fullerton School District for their commitment to our youth and their health and for receiving, of course, this well- earned recognition. Advancing Research on Breakthrough Therapies

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to tell you about the work my colleague, General Jack Bergman, and I are doing as co-chairs of the Congressional Psychedelics Advancing Therapies Caucus.

The PATH Caucus, as it is known, is addressing the rising mental health challenges faced by millions of Americans by advancing research on breakthrough therapies like psychedelics.

Almost 50 million Americans struggle with some kind of mental health issue, as well as our veterans. Of course, our veterans carry those hidden scars from their service to this country.

The issue of mental health has never been more urgent for America. That is why we are spreading awareness in Congress to increase Federal funding for more research and to chart a new path for those who are struggling with mental health.

Mr. Speaker, we have a duty to the American public to study how we can better address mental illness in this country. Recognizing CyberPatriot Champions Troy High School

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize Troy High School students for their impressive victory in the national CyberPatriot cybersecurity competition.

The students on the team placed sixth amongst almost 3,000 in the open division. In the All Services division, students on Team W.A.T.T. placed first out of almost 1,400.

Led by their coach and teacher, David Kim, these students competed against thousands of other students in a series of cybersecurity tests, finding and fixing cybersecurity vulnerabilities like the ones we face on a day-to-day basis.

These Orange County students have shown us that America is safe in the future from cybersecurity attacks. As these Troy High School students return home to Orange County, they have made us proud and have shown us that we can rely on the next generation to keep America safe in the environment of cybersecurity.
