                   CHEMISTRY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

  (Mr. LIPINSKI asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LIPINSKI. Madam Speaker, today, the House passed a bipartisan 
bill that Mr. Moolenaar joined me in introducing, H.R. 2051, the 
Sustainable Chemistry Research and Development Act.
  Chemical products are part of our everyday lives, from toothpaste, to 
shampoo, cosmetics, dish soap, clothing, and

even Legos. Because these products are all around us, we need to 
prioritize the development of chemicals that are affordable, meet our 
needs, and are green, meaning that they protect our health and the 
environment.
  By supporting research and educational efforts in green chemistry, my 
bill will ensure that American companies have the workforce and tools 
they need to create safer and more environmentally friendly products, 
while creating new American jobs.
  H.R. 2051 is commonsense legislation that is a win for American 
workers and our health and environment.
  Madam Speaker, I urge the Senate to act quickly and pass this bill.
