       BRINGING AMERICA BACK TO NORMAL WITH AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN

  (Mr. SCHNEIDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SCHNEIDER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the incredible 
achievements of the American Rescue Plan, which will put shots in arms, 
money in pockets, children in schools, and people in jobs.
  President Biden's American Rescue Plan will power our efforts to 
defeat this virus and move America forward. Significantly, experts 
agree that the American Rescue Plan will cut child poverty in half by 
expanding the child tax credit and sending $300 per month per child to 
struggling families on top of the $1,400 check that the American Rescue 
Plan will put in the pockets of every American.
  The American Rescue Plan will give schools the resources they need to 
safely reopen and stay open. It will enable our businesses to hang on 
and safely cater to their customers while retaining their employees and 
planning for a better future.
  Job one for this new Congress and the new administration was always 
to beat back the virus and lift up our Nation. The American Rescue Plan 
takes direct aim at COVID-19 and charts the course to bring America 
back to normal.
