        CONSTRUCTION ON NEW REDDING VA OUTPATIENT CLINIC BEGINS

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, last week I had the incredible privilege to 
participate in the groundbreaking for the new Redding VA Outpatient 
Clinic.
  This will serve veterans all over northern California with the 
increased size and space as well as the increased capabilities of the 
new clinic, which include allergy, immunology, rheumatology, and 
additional telemedicine rooms being available. Also, increased 
radiology service will include fluoroscopy capabilities. This is a good 
sign for being able to better care for our veterans in northern 
California.
  I would also like to point out one of the driving forces in seeing 
this clinic happen in the Redding area, and that would be our former 
State Senator Maurice Johannessen. This has been his vision and his 
dream for a long time: to help our veterans in northern California.
  So my hat is off in appreciation to my friend Maurice, and we will 
attend, together, the ribbon-cutting before too much longer.
  So, indeed, congratulations for the good work to VA and Senator 
Johannessen and everybody else who had a hand in it.
