                    USMCA IS A WIN FOR ALL AMERICANS

  (Mrs. HARTZLER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker, this month marks 1 year since the Trump 
administration negotiated the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
  USMCA is undoubtedly a win for Missourians and for all Americans. The 
agreement will bring 176,000 new jobs and will spur $63 billion in new 
economic activity.
  Benefits of USMCA will be felt across diverse industries, including 
many of our manufacturing industries, agriculture, and small 
businesses, while also supporting technology and innovation.
  But month after month, this Congress has been subject to missed 
opportunities for our producers and consumers as we have been refused 
the chance to vote on the USMCA. This needs to change.
  Instead of House leaders squandering precious legislative time 
bringing up impeachment inquiries, they should be bringing up USMCA for 
a vote.
  Let us hope that we get this opportunity soon. That would be a 
positive win for all Americans.
