             DELIVERING RELIEF THROUGH AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN

  (Mrs. LEE of Nevada asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of Nevada's 
Third District.
  With the passage of the American Rescue Plan, we have delivered on 
our promise to provide the relief that is so desperately needed 1 year 
after the COVID-19 pandemic broke out.
  The pandemic has been especially hard on my home State of Nevada. The 
primary pillar of our economy, travel and tourism, has been absolutely 
devastated. It is not just our casinos and our hotels that have been 
hit, but our restaurant and convention workers, our entertainment and 
stage workers, and our aviation workers.
  With the passage of the American Rescue Plan, we will save lives and 
get our economy back on track. We will get vaccines into arms. We will 
get our kids safely back into schools with the $130 billion investment 
to get schools open and make up for lost time in the classroom. We will 
get people back in jobs with the expanded PPP loans, relief for 
restaurants and shuttered venues, and more. And, of course, we will get 
money into people's pockets immediately through the direct stimulus 
checks.
  Mr. Speaker, in short, America, help is on its way, and it couldn't 
be more urgently needed.
