 ========================= END NOTE ========================= 


  (Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her 
remarks.)
  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I strongly support 
H.R. 1, the For the People Act.
  Included in this important legislation is the Vote by Mail Tracking 
Act, legislation I introduced to ensure that all ballots in Federal 
elections have a Postal Service barcode.
  This would enable election officials and the public to track the 
status of a ballot from when it is put in the mail to when it is 
delivered, reducing anxiety, increasing accuracy, transparency, and 
accountability for our ballots.
  After an election year with record-breaking numbers of Americans 
voting by mail, it has never been more critical to provide election 
officials and the public peace of mind that every vote matters and is 
counted accurately.
  I urge overwhelming support for H.R. 1, which includes reforms across 
our Government that are critically important, and it includes this 
important bill, too.
