                          SECURE OUR ELECTIONS

  (Mrs. BUSTOS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, it is a fact that Russia, a foreign 
adversary, interfered in our election and even breached the voter 
database for the State of Illinois, my home State.
  For the sake of our national security, this is an issue that must be 
addressed by the United States Congress because this isn't a Republican 
issue and it is not a Democratic issue. It is our duty as Americans and 
elected officials to protect our democracy.
  That is why, this week, we will pass the Securing America's Federal 
Elections Act. Our bill would require voting machines to be 
manufactured in the United States of America. It would also make 
investments to secure our elections and prevent interference from 
foreign enemies in the future.
  As Members of Congress, we take an oath to protect our Constitution 
and our democracy. I hope both Republicans and Democrats will come 
together to support this bill and secure our elections.
