                   SUPPORTING THE INFRASTRUCTURE BILL

  (Mr. CARTWRIGHT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I want to raise my voice in support of 
H.R. 2, the Moving Forward Act.
  I want to congratulate Chairman DeFazio. He has been working on this 
for a long time. This is the infrastructure bill that we have been 
waiting for. He has followed what my father advised me to do as a young 
boy: If you are going to do something, do it right. And it is a 
wonderful bill.
  This is something that will repair our crumbling roads and bridges in 
this country, expand transit and commuter rail, repair and rebuild 
schools, make childcare facilities safer, deliver broadband to the 
entire country, reclaim abandoned mines, save affordable housing units, 
provide access to safe drinking water and good sewer systems, and put 
more energy into the grid. This is something that this entire Nation 
needs.
  It is time for us to come together and fulfill this promise to the 
American people to rebuild and reinvest in our American infrastructure. 
It is the Moving Forward Act, H.R. 2. Let's all vote ``yes'' on that 
bill.
