Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor and remember the extraordinary life of Sheriff Reuel Todd. Sheriff Todd, affectionately known by everyone in Oswego as Moe, was a loving husband, father, and grandfather, who passed away on August 21, 2023, but not without making an indelible impact on our community.

Sheriff Moe Todd's lifelong dedication to service began on June 29, 1974, when he joined the Oswego County Sheriff's Department. With unwavering commitment and relentless determination, he climbed the ranks, becoming a sergeant, a criminal investigator, and eventually the undersheriff in 1984. His tenure culminated with his election as the sheriff of Oswego County in 1998, a role he fulfilled with honor and distinction for an impressive 20 years.

Throughout his career, Sheriff Todd was laser focused on the safety and well-being of his colleagues and the communities he served. He was a tireless advocate for everyone in the Oswego County Sheriff's Department, fighting hard for essential equipment, training, and fair pay for his team. His unwavering commitment to their safety and success was evidence of his character and leadership.

In 2022, the Oswego County legislature recognized his exceptional service to our community by dedicating the Oswego County Public Safety Building in his name, a fitting tribute to his enduring legacy. I was honored to be in attendance with a very huge crowd, all confirmation that his compassion and his excellent service to his community was appreciated by so many.

Moe and his beloved wife, Valerie, shared 55 years of marriage. He was not only a loving husband, but also a devoted father to his son, Michael, his daughter, Jolene, and proud grandfather to Kaitlynn. His family meant the world to him, and he always found time for family dinners, ball games, school activities, holidays, and precious moments with all of them.

Moe coached baseball and softball, demonstrating his strong interest in investing in the growth and development of young athletes and future leaders. He was always ready to lend a hand for fundraisers and community events, embodying the spirit of selflessness. Moe had a unique ability to connect with people from all walks of life, treating everyone with the same respect and kindness, regardless of their background or circumstances. His honest and very frank demeanor--and, yes, he was very frank--and a wonderful sense of humor was appreciated by everyone he met.

In 2021, Moe faced one of his greatest challenges when he was diagnosed with ALS. Yet, even in the face of this relentless and cruel disease, he displayed incredible strength and resilience. He never once complained or engaged in self-pity. Instead, his first thoughts were of others facing the same struggle. Moe and his family organized the annual ``Stronger with Moe'' chicken barbecue, with all proceeds going to the ALS Association of Upstate New York to support families struggling with ALS. His determination to help others, even while suffering from this agonizing disease, was truly inspiring.

Tragically, Moe lost his battle with ALS on August 31, 2023, but his legacy of kindness, compassion, and service will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. As a tribute to his memory, his family will continue the ``Stronger with Moe'' chicken barbecue, ensuring that his spirit of helping others endures.

Today, as we honor and remember Moe, let us take inspiration from his life, let us strive to embody the values he held dear--humility, compassion, and a commitment to making our communities better for everyone. Moe's life reminds us that the impact we make on others through small acts of kindness, or a lifetime of service is what truly matters in the end.

May God bless Moe, his family, and the community he served and loved so deeply.

Mike Woodward, Champion for Wetland Conservation

Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to Mike Woodward, a resident of Oakfield, New York, whose dedication to conservation has left a lasting impression on our community for many generations to come.

Mike started his path in the conservation field in the 1970s when he attended his very first Ducks Unlimited dinner. There he was inspired to partner with Ducks Unlimited to champion wetland protection. He was committed to the cause of wetland protection for almost 50 years. Mike served on the national Ducks Unlimited board, where he was better able to enhance his impact and improvements to wetland conservation.

Mike Woodward's influence extends far beyond his own achievements, as his passion for conservation has touched the lives of his children and grandchildren and left an indelible mark on their values and priorities.

Today, I rise to proclaim that Mike Woodward is recognized as a champion of wetland conservation. Mike's legacy of unwavering dedication and visionary leadership has inspired others to embrace the same cause and thus will ensure a better future for conservation efforts and the preservation of our natural world.

Honoring the Life of Anthony Mazurkiewicz

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge my colleagues to support H.R. 3838, bipartisan legislation that honors and remembers the life and legacy of Rochester, New York, fallen police officer, Anthony Mazurkiewicz. Officer Mazurkiewicz was killed in the line of duty on July 21, 2022.

This bill would rename the post office facility in his hometown of Avon, New York, in his honor. I thank my cosponsor, Congressman Joe Morelle, for joining me in this bipartisan and important effort.

Officer Mazurkiewicz began his law enforcement service in 1988, receiving multiple awards throughout a career that spanned nearly 35 years. Beyond the badge and uniform, Officer Mazurkiewicz was a loving father, a devoted husband, and an amazing friend. He exemplified excellence in law enforcement.

We will never forget Officer Anthony Mazurkiewicz' sacrifice. This legislation honors his incredible legacy, and I urge my colleagues to support it.

I thank his lovely widow so much who has given me this beautiful plastic band that honors and remembers his life and legacy.

Honoring Wayne Central School Teachers and Students

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to discuss a very tragic occurrence but yet something with a great ending, with bus crash heroes, as we call them in Wayne County.

On September 27, in Wayne County, New York, a Wayne Central schoolbus carrying 22 students and 3 staff was traveling north on the road back toward school when tragedy struck.

Three courageous staff members, driver Deb Hibbard along with teachers Maureen Doyle and Lori Sozio, took immediate action in protecting their students after a harrowing accident due to the carelessness of a driver behind the bus.

As the bus came to a stop, Deb noticed smoke billowing from the front and, without hesitation, urged everyone to evacuate. In a matter of moments, all three staff members sprang into action to ensure the safety of each and every passenger.

In the midst of the chaos, two students, Brody Constable and Colin Schrage, who were seated at the back of the bus, displayed remarkable bravery as they aided the remaining students and staff off the rear of the bus, a 5-foot drop, allowing them to move away from the fire.

Due to the quick actions of these heroes, within just 1 minute of the collision, all 25 passengers were safely evacuated.

By the end of the second minute, the entire bus, including the passenger compartment, was engulfed in flames.

The selflessness and heroism of Brody, Colin, Deb, Maureen, and Lori in the face of immediate danger serve as an inspiration to all of us.

Mr. Speaker, I also send many thanks to the emergency servicemembers in the local fire departments of Lincoln, Ontario, Walworth, as well as Wayne and Williamson ambulance service, who were promptly on the scene.

We commend and honor all of these heroes for their unwavering courage and dedication to the safety of others.

Recognizing Paramedics Karen Gavin and Matt Devine

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize paramedics Karen Gavin and Matt Devine of the Lockport Fire Department for heroically saving the lives of a mother and her baby this past March.

Dispatchers received a report of a pregnant woman who was in distress and bleeding heavily. The ambulance arrived in less than 5 minutes. Gavin and Devine immediately began to administer treatment and prepared the patients for transport.

While en route to the hospital, the woman went into labor and began to give birth prematurely. As this happened, the paramedics immediately stopped the ambulance, called for backup, and jumped into action. Employing years of training, they were able to safely deliver the baby and protect the mother's life.

Today, both the mother and child are home and healthy due to the heroic and expert actions of Karen Gavin and Matt Devine of the Lockport Fire Department.

This story is a perfect example of the hard work and expertise of our first responders, who have answered the call to serve our communities and those in need.

Mr. Speaker, I thank paramedics Karen Gavin and Matt Devine and the Lockport Fire Department for their

compassionate and dedicated service to our community.

recognizing laurence ``sparky'' rector

Mr. Speaker, I rise to wish Laurence J. Rector a happy belated 100th birthday. Laurence, a World War II veteran, commonly known as Sparky, began his education in Mexico, New York, at Mexico Academy and from there earned his bachelor of science degree from Ithaca College in 1948. He then continued his education at Syracuse University, St. Lawrence University, and Oswego State University.

Sparky began his service as a corporal in the United States Army in 1942 and was honorably discharged in 1945. During his service, he completed three major campaigns, earning him three battle stars, two amphibious landings, and the Purple Heart for wounds sustained in combat.

Sparky lived an active and inspired life. He loved sports and was involved in numerous sports associations and coached track, basketball, cross country, tennis, and baseball, creating a lasting impact on the children he worked with and on our communities.

On behalf of Congress and all of New York-24, I wish Sparky a happy belated 100th birthday and thank him for his honorable service to our Nation.

Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 3838) to amend title III of the Public Health Service Act to reauthorize Federal support of States in their work to save and sustain the health of mothers during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, to eliminate disparities in maternal health outcomes for pregnancy-related and pregnancy-associated deaths, to identify solutions to improve healthcare quality and health outcomes for mothers, and for other purposes, as amended.

Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material in the Record on the bill.

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

I rise today in support of my legislation, H.R. 3838, the Preventing Maternal Deaths Reauthorization Act of 2023.

During March, we celebrate National Women's History Month and honor the strong women in our lives, especially our mothers who make great sacrifices to bring life into this world.

According to the latest United States data, the maternal mortality rate rose yet again in 2021 to almost 33 deaths per 100,000 live births compared to a rate of 23 per 100,000 in 2020. While we know that over 80 percent of pregnancy-related deaths are preventable, we also understand that even one is too many.

The Preventing Maternal Deaths Reauthorization Act works to understand and reduce maternal mortalities by reauthorizing Federal support for State-led Maternal Mortality Review Committees.

Maternal Mortality Review Committees are multidisciplinary committees that review the causes of maternal deaths in their State and make recommendations based on their findings to prevent future deaths and improve maternal health outcomes during pregnancy, childbirth, and the first year afterward.

H.R. 3838 also requires the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to work in consultation with the Health Resources and Services Administration to disseminate best practices for the prevention of maternal mortality and morbidity to hospitals and other healthcare providers.

Maternal Mortality Review Committees are vital to understanding the drivers of maternal deaths and informing effective interventions. This way we will help to ensure that resources are directed where they will have the most positive impact.

Since its initial authorization in 2018, we have already seen the work of the Maternal Mortality Review Committees make a significant difference and increasing the number of Maternal Mortality Review Committees from 32 States to 49 States, the District of Columbia, New York City, Philadelphia, and Puerto Rico.

Through their work, this body was able to discover that over 50 percent of pregnancy-related deaths happen between 1 week and 1 year after delivery, leading to the critical extension of the State plan amendment for Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program to 12 months for postpartum coverage.

The critical importance of this bill is furthered by the news from my home State of Texas just last week. Effective March 1 of 2024, Texas extended postpartum coverage for the full 12 months for eligible Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program recipients through the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. I thank Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas legislature for their continued efforts to protect and defend life, especially the lives of new mothers and newborn babies.

Today, I am joined by 740 of my fellow OB/GYNs who are on the Hill with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists urging a ``yes'' vote on this critically important bill.

I thank my fellow Representatives, Diana DeGette, Buddy Carter, Robin Kelly, Kat Cammack, and Kathy Castor for working with me on this important legislation.

Mr. Speaker, I stand in strong support of H.R. 3838. I urge my fellow Members to vote for its passage today, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Carter).

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

I do want to point out in this bill, probably one of the most important aspects is the collection and dissemination of data by the CDC and HRSA, the best practices that occur across the country. There is no reason why one hospital should have excellent statistics and another hospital have questionable statistics. We should be able to be good enough that every hospital has excellent statistics.

I know this to be true, because where I did my residency at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, they have consistently had some of the best maternal mortality statistics in the country, and they take care of a population that is low income, women of color, underinsured, uninsured, the very populations you think would be at greatest risk.

I know we can do it. I have seen it done, and it is so important to me that we collect and disseminate this data.

Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, this bill is personally important to me. My grandfather, who I never knew, my father's father, was an academic obstetrician at McGill Hospital in Montreal from the end of the World War I until his death in 1939.

During that time, maternal mortality was substantially reduced. The caregivers of that time, prior to the introduction of antibiotics, made great strides in reducing maternal mortality. Some of that was through the imposition of preventive medicine. Some of that was because of improved anesthesia and blood bank techniques. Of course, with the introduction of antibiotics in 1940, the rates came down even substantially more. We know it can be done.

At that time the major drivers of maternal mortality were hypertension, hemorrhage, and infection. Now, the major drivers are well after delivery, and they fall into the realm of cardiovascular disease, suicide, and drug overdose. This expansion of postpartum coverage to the first year after delivery was really work that was established in our committee. We did the research on that, and we provided the guidance that now has been taken up by a great many States.

I look forward to a day when we see these numbers are significantly reduced even over where they are now because of the changes that we have made as a result of this legislation. It is important work.

Mr. Speaker, I encourage all of my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on the underlying bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.

Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from Colorado (Ms. DeGette).

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Mr. Speaker, the United States faces a significant crisis with one of the highest maternal mortality and morbidity rates among developed nations.

According to the most recent data, in 2021, more than 1,200 women died as a result of pregnancy or childbirth, continuing an upward trend over nearly 20 years.

Racial disparities in maternal outcomes continue with Black and indigenous women dying at three times the rate of White women.

Additionally, rural areas experience higher rates of maternal mortality compared to urban areas, and yet, experts and research using the Maternal Mortality Review Committee data indicates that at least 80 percent of maternal mortalities are preventable.

H.R. 3838, the Preventing Maternal Deaths Reauthorization Act of 2023, is bipartisan legislation to reauthorize support for State-based Maternal Mortality Review Committees until 2028. These committees play a critical role in reviewing pregnancy-related deaths to identify causes and make recommendations for the prevention of future mortalities in their State. The legislation also requires the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC, to work with HRSA, the Health Resources and Services Administration, to share best practices to prevent maternal mortality with hospitals and healthcare providers.

Enacting this legislation will provide the needed ongoing support of Maternal Mortality Review Committees, ultimately enhancing the safety of women throughout their pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum experiences while reducing racial disparities and outcomes.

The legislation is supported by over 85 organizations across the healthcare spectrum. I am pleased that it is before us today, and I encourage all of my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this important bill.

Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Castor).

Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Kelly).

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time for closing.

I am so pleased this bill is before us today. I encourage all of my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this very important bill that will save lives.

Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.

Before I begin, Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague, the sponsor of this bill, Dr. Burgess, for his outstanding work in healthcare, especially as a Member of this august body. For many years he has served here, and I know he is going to be retiring at the end of this year, and we are certainly going to miss his leadership, particularly in the healthcare space, and we appreciate him very much.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 3838, the Preventing Maternal Deaths Reauthorization Act, which I am co-leading with Dr. Burgess.

Maternal mortality is something that I have worked on for many, many years as a member of the Georgia State legislature and now as a Member of Congress. It baffles me as to why Georgia, my home State, would be one of the leading States in the Nation in maternal mortality. I have not been able to get my arms around that and understand why that is, but it is.

Our Nation's maternal mortality crisis, which, as I say, severely impacts Georgians, is alarming and trending in the wrong direction. In fact, in Georgia, the maternal mortality rate has increased to over 30 deaths per 100,000 live births. For women of color and people living in rural communities, those numbers are much higher.

The United States is trending in the wrong direction, as well, and we need to understand why moms are dying, despite us spending $4.4 trillion on healthcare in 2022.

As a father, as a grandfather, and a healthcare professional, I believe that we can and we must do much better. It is time for this to become a national priority, which is why I am proud to be co-leading the Preventing Maternal Deaths Act with Dr. Burgess.

This legislation would ensure continued support for the critically important work that the State Maternal Mortality Review Committees have done in addressing the maternal mortality crisis.

State Maternal Mortality Review Committees are crucial to collecting data so that each State can form a plan to address maternal health issues impacting their community.

This bipartisan bill is an important step toward ending the maternal mortality crisis in the U.S.

We value women, we value life, and this bipartisan bill prioritizes both.

I thank Dr. Burgess again for working with me on this important issue, and I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.
