                INVESTING IN OUR NATION'S INFRASTRUCTURE

  (Ms. BLUNT ROCHESTER asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. BLUNT ROCHESTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 2, 
the Moving Forward Act. This infrastructure bill invests in our roads, 
bridges, transit systems, schools, housing, clean water systems, and so 
much more.
  Importantly, it will create good-paying jobs, repair critical 
infrastructure, address the climate crisis, and create healthier and 
safer communities. I am proud that this bill includes key provisions 
that I championed in Congress, including repairing our natural gas 
pipelines to prevent methane leaks, investing in our public buildings 
to make them more energy efficient, and incentivizing our Nation's 
ports to reduce harmful emissions. These investments are a down payment 
on our Nation's future, and they will, indeed, help us move America 
forward.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting the 
passage of H.R. 2.
