                   THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED OUR HELP

  (Mr. TAKANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker:
  (English translation of the statement made in Spanish by Mr. Takano 
is as follows:)
  The American people need our help.
  That's why Democrats have been fighting for more economic relief. 
President Biden's stimulus package will help the people who need it the 
most and it will make investments to improve vaccine distribution, to 
open our schools, and to support small businesses.
  Thousands of families in my district are worried because they don't 
know how they will pay their rent and the Latino community has been the 
most affected by this virus.
  We have to help everyone during these difficult times and ensure that 
the communities that have been most affected have access to the 
vaccine.
  Congress must approve this legislative package immediately. There is 
not time to waste.
  El pueblo americano necesita ayuda.
  Es por eso que los Democratas estamos luchando por mas ayuda 
economica. El paquete de estimulo economico del presidente Biden 
ayudara a las personas que mas lo necesitan y hara inversiones para 
mejorar la distribucion de las vacunas, para abrir nuestras escuelas, y 
para apoyar a los pequenos negocios.
  Miles de familias en mi distrito tienen angustia porque no saben como 
van a pagar su renta. Y la comunidad latina ha sido la mas afectada por 
este virus.

  Tenemos que ayudar a todos durante estos tiempos dificiles y 
asegurarnos que las comunidades mas afectadas tengan acceso a la

  El Congreso debe aprobar este paquete legislativo inmediatamente. No 
hay tiempo que perder.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California will provide a 
translation of his remarks to the Clerk.
