  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Kentucky (Mr. Yarmuth) and the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Smith) each 
will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Kentucky.


                             General Leave

  Mr. YARMUTH. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend remarks and 
insert extraneous material into the Record on H.R. 1868.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Kentucky?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. YARMUTH. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Madam Speaker, today, the House meets on the heels of huge milestones 
for our country: more than 180 million vaccine shots in Americans' arms 
and more than 150 million rescue checks in Americans' bank accounts.
  As the resources included in the American Rescue Plan continue to 
strengthen our Nation's fight against COVID-19 and deliver critical 
relief to American families, today's legislation will ensure our 
healthcare providers--who have been on the front lines of this 
pandemic--are supported during this difficult time.
  Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress came together to provide 
financial support to healthcare providers by temporarily pausing the 
sequestration of the Medicare program created by the Budget Control Act 
of 2011. This pause, originally enacted in the CARES Act and then 
further extended in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, was 
slated to expire on March 31, 2021. Today's legislation will extend the 
suspension through the end of this year.
  Madam Speaker, I am pleased that this bill received bipartisan 
support in the Senate, and it is my hope that it will receive broad 
bipartisan support in this Chamber as well.
  However, I would be remiss if I did not state my disappointment that 
the needed legislative fix to exclude the American Rescue Plan from the 
statutory paygo scorecard was dropped from this measure.
  Many of my House Republican colleagues supported this bill in its 
original form, which would essentially put the American Rescue Plan on 
equal footing with our other COVID relief packages and ensure it is 
treated the same as the previous reconciliation bill passed by 
Congress.
  So while today's action is an important step, our work is not done. 
Next, we must enact an additional legislative fix to prevent a separate 
paygo sequester and avert painful and indiscriminate cuts to Medicare, 
farm supports, social services, resources for students and individuals 
with disabilities, and other programs Americans rely on.
  I am committed to passing this bill today, and enacting a second 
sequester fix before the end of this session of Congress. I invite all 
my colleagues to join me in these important efforts.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  Madam Speaker, the legislation before us today is clearly a wiser 
course of action than that which my House Democrat colleagues pursued 
just a few weeks ago. As a reminder, despite House Republicans 
specifically raising the concern over the risk House Democrats were 
taking with the healthcare of America's seniors, our Democrat 
colleagues first dismissed the fact that their recently enacted $1.9 
trillion bailout bill would lead to billions in cuts to Medicare. Then, 
after passing their bill, and after the President signed into law a 
plan that would lead to $36 billion in cuts to Medicare, Democrats 
suddenly felt compelled to acknowledge that fact.
  Unfortunately, when they chose to act, Democrats chose a course of 
action that completely failed. I say chose that course of action 
because they could have protected America's seniors and offset the 
impact to the budget by adopting the Protect Seniors and Cut Waste Act 
put forward by House Republicans, which would:
  Stop benefits and payments to prisoners and illegal immigrants; stop 
funds from the bailout bail for the National Endowment for the Arts and 
National Endowment for the Humanities; stop special handouts for 
Federal employees; and rescind billions in bailouts that go to State 
governments.
  Our Democrat colleagues were unwilling to accept such a commonsense 
approach. They wanted to simply pretend $1.9 trillion in spending is 
not happening and erase the evidence.
  Thankfully, the Senate, in a bipartisan vote of 90-2, agreed to the 
bill that is before us today--legislation that postpones the Budget 
Control Act's reduction in Medicare spending that is otherwise set to 
begin this month. It offsets and achieves those savings by extending 
future funding restraints an additional year.
  It avoids a cut to Medicare that is smaller than that which is set to 
occur because of the Biden bailout bill, but it also does not simply 
shove under the

[[Page H1731]]

rug the cost of the debt-inducing actions taken by Washington Democrats 
thus far. They will have to deal with those actions and their spending.
  In the meantime, we can and should act on the legislation before us 
to do what is prudent and possible to protect America's seniors.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. YARMUTH. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from 
Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee), a distinguished member of the Budget 
Committee.
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, I thank the chairman very much for 
yielding, and I rise in support of the Senate amendment to H.R. 1868, 
an act to prevent direct across-the-board spending cuts, which would 
include protecting Medicare.
  Madam Speaker, one of the happiest days of my life as a Member of the 
United States Congress--and I have passed many legislative 
initiatives--is the passing of the American Rescue Act. Just in the 
time that I was in the district in the work recess, I was able to see 
the smiles of so many--such as our Federally qualified health clinics 
getting almost 50 million to provide vaccinations to well-deserved 
communities--smiling faces about the American Rescue Act.

  And so the reason why this is an important initiative is because it 
retains language included by Congress in the CARES Act and subsequent 
legislation to address the COVID-19 pandemic.
  Medicare plans and providers are receiving payment rates at 
approximately 2 percent higher than what they otherwise could have 
received during this time. The pause in the operability of the 
sequestration was slated to expire on March 31, 2021, but H.R. 1868 
extended the suspension to December 30, 2021. We do not want any cuts 
from Medicare, and Democrats will not have any cuts in Medicare.
  The Senate amendment to that legislation reduced that time to the end 
of the fiscal year 2021--September 30--but I know that even though it 
has been reduced to that, we will extend it because we will not have 
any cuts. I believe the American Rescue Plan was desperately needed--
$20 billion in vaccinations; contact tracing and testing; billions of 
dollars for our schools and our teachers; dollars that would help 
ensure that our unemployment is extended, and the $1,400. Vaccines in 
the arms; money in people's pocket.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
  Mr. YARMUTH. Madam Speaker, I yield the gentlewoman from Texas an 
additional 30 seconds.
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Kentucky 
for yielding.
  Madam Speaker, the American Rescue Plan will bring $16.7 billion to 
the State of Texas. The lion's share of $3.3 billion will come directly 
to the city of Houston and Harris County.
  I thank the gentleman from Kentucky for allowing me to offer a motion 
to instruct that indicated that we would not stop direct funding from 
going to our local jurisdictions, which we fought. And every time I see 
my mayor and local officials, they are smiling for that direct 
funding--$1.4 billion to smaller jurisdictions like Jacinto City and 
the Houston Independent School District getting millions of dollars.
  Madam Speaker, this particular amendment is important because 
Democrats don't cut Medicare. We are standing here today to make sure 
that nothing happens to our seniors and Medicare.
  Madam Speaker, I support this legislation.
  Madam Speaker, as a senior member of the Committees on the Judiciary, 
on Homeland Security, on the Budget, and as the Member of Congress for 
a congressional district that has experienced the worst of the COVID-19 
as a public health emergency and economic catastrophe, I rise in 
support of Senate Amendment to H.R. 1868.
  I do so because this legislation retains language included by 
Congress in the CARES Act and subsequent legislation to address the 
COVID-19 pandemic, Medicare plans and providers are receiving payment 
rates that are approximately 2 percent higher than what they otherwise 
would have received during this time.
  This pause in the operability of sequestration was slated to expire 
on March 31, 2021, but H.R. 1868 extended the suspension through 
December 31, 2021; the Senate Amendment to that legislation reduced 
that time to the end of fiscal year 2021, or September 30, 2021.
  It is very disappointing that the provision in H.R. 1868 passed by 
House excluding the budgetary effects of the American Rescue Plan Act 
of 2021, from the scorecards established by the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go 
(PAYGO) Act of 2010 and preventing across-the-board cuts to numerous 
direct spending programs were not included in the amendment passed by 
the Senate.
  But as a member of the Budget Committee, I will be working tirelessly 
with Chairman Yarmuth and my colleagues to ensure that Congress 
designates as an emergency or otherwise excludes from the PAYGO 
scorecard the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to avert sequestration.
  Madam Speaker, Congress has never permitted sequestration to affect 
the Medicare trust fund and it certainly will not allow it now, just 
when help is arriving under the American Rescue Plan Act to put shots 
in arms, money in pockets, kids in school, and workers back on the job.
  It is worthwhile to explain why the American Rescue Plan Act is the 
most transformative legislation in more than a half century and easily 
justifies exclusion from sequestration.
  H.R. 1319, the American Rescue Plan Act, is a landmark, life-saving 
legislation that will provide urgently-needed resources to defeat the 
virus, put vaccines in people's arms, money into families' pockets, 
children safely back into classrooms, and people back to work.
  With tens of millions of Americans infected, more than half a million 
lives lost, over 18 million Americans unemployed and millions more 
hungry and food and housing insecure, thanks to the work of 
congressional Democrats in the House and Senate and the Biden 
administration, at long last the people of the United States and my 
home state of Texas can be assured that ``Help Is On The Way.''
  In simple terms this life-saving and life-enhancing legislation puts 
vaccines in arms, puts money in people's pockets, puts children safely 
back in school, and it will put workers back in jobs.
  1. Put Vaccines in Arms: The plan will mount a national vaccination 
program that includes setting up community vaccination sites nationwide 
and addressing disparities facing communities of color. It will also 
take complementary measures to combat the virus, including scaling up 
testing and tracing, addressing shortages of personal protective 
equipment and other critical supplies, investing in high-quality 
treatments, and addressing health care disparities.
  2. Put Money in People's Pockets: The plan finishes the job on the 
President's promise to provide $2,000 in direct assistance to 
households across America with checks of $1,400 per person, following 
the $600 down payment enacted in December. The plan will also provide 
direct housing assistance, nutrition assistance for 40 million 
Americans, expand access to safe and reliable child care and affordable 
health care, extend unemployment insurance so that 18 million American 
workers can pay their bills and support 27 million children with an 
expanded Child Tax Credit and more than 17 million low-wage workers 
through an improved Earned Income Tax Credit.
  3. Put Children Safely Back in School: The plan delivers $170 billion 
for education and $45 billion for childcare providers. This includes a 
$130 billion investment in K-12 school re-opening and making up for 
lost time in the classroom, with funds that can be used for such things 
as reducing class sizes, modifying spaces so that students and teachers 
can socially distance, improving ventilation, implementing more 
mitigation measures, providing personal protective equipment and 
providing summer school or other support for students that help make up 
lost learning time this year. The plan also provides more than $40 
billion for higher education.
  Here is what the American Rescue Plan Act means for the State of 
Texas, Houston, and Harris County.
  An estimated $16.7 billion will come to the State of Texas.
  The lion's share of $3.3 billion will come directly to the City of 
Houston, and Harris County will receive a similar share of $5.667 
billion, thanks to a provision in the law I helped secure that created 
the Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund and appropriated $45.57 
billion.
  $1.4 billion in direct payments is allocated to smaller jurisdiction 
like Jacinto City.
  Houston Independent School District can expect to receive close to 
$100 million ($993,198 million to be more precise).
  The law specifically allows this funding to be used:
  1. To respond to the pandemic or its negative economic impacts, 
including assistance to households, small businesses, and nonprofits, 
or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality;
  2. For premium pay to eligible workers performing essential work (as 
determined by each

[[Page H1732]]

recipient government) during the pandemic, providing up to $13 per hour 
above regular wages;
  3. For the provision of government services to the extent of the 
reduction in revenue due to the pandemic (relative to revenues 
collected in the most recent full fiscal year); and
  4. To make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband 
infrastructure.
  In addition to these funds, Texas will receive $100 million out of 
the newly created $10 billion Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund for 
``critical capital projects directly enabling work, education, and 
health monitoring, including remote options, in response to the public 
health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease.
  Now all that is well and good but let me tell you what the American 
Rescue Plan Act means for a hard-working and hard-pressed single mother 
of two children making a modest income:
  Stimulus checks: $1,400 3 = $4,200,
  Child tax credit: $3,600 (5-year-old) + $3,000 (9-year-old) = $6,600. 
Half of that amount will be paid out periodically from late July 
through December; the rest will come as a check with next year's taxes.
  Enhanced unemployment: If the parent becomes unemployed in March, she 
will be eligible for $300 in aid every week through the last week of 
August.
  Total: $10,800 from stimulus and tax credits, plus another $7,500 
from 25-weeks of enhanced unemployment aid. This individual would also 
receive $318 per week in state unemployment aid and thousands more from 
the Earned Income Tax Credit.
  Finally, let me discuss briefly the good things for the restaurant 
industry that are in the American Rescue Plan Act.
  The law allocates $28 billion in funds to devastated food service 
establishments, including bars, and food trucks, and vendors.
  Unlike the Paycheck Protection Program, which saddled restaurants 
with burdensome loans if the bulk of the funds were not spent on 
payroll, these restaurant relief dollars are grants, plain and simple.
  Grant sizes will generally be determined by subtracting lower 2020 
pandemic-era receipts from higher 2019 gross receipts.
  Over $5 billion will be set aside for smaller venues whose annual 
gross receipts were below $500,000, leaving $23.6 billion for everyone 
else.
  Grants will be capped at $10 million for restaurant groups and $5 
million for individual venues.
  Publicly traded companies or restaurants with more than 20 locations 
will not be eligible to participate in this funding.
  And, for the first 21 days, establishments owned by women, veterans, 
or economically and socially disadvantaged groups will be prioritized.
  This transformative legislation will also provide direct housing 
assistance, nutrition assistance for 40 million Americans, expand 
access to safe and reliable child care and affordable health care, 
extend unemployment insurance so that 18 million American workers can 
pay their bills and support 27 million children with an expanded Child 
Tax Credit and more than 17 million low-wage childless workers through 
an improved Earned Income Tax Credit, which will reduce the number of 
children living in poverty in America by 50 percent.
  I want to commend my colleagues and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for 
her leadership and President Biden for signing into law the American 
Rescue Plan Act of 2021, and I urge all Members to join me in voting to 
pass the bill before us, the Senate Amendment to H.R. 1868, and to 
redouble our efforts to ensure the exclusion of the budgetary effects 
of the American Rescue Plan Act from the scorecards established by the 
Statutory Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) Act of 2010, thus precluding the 
implementation of direct across the board cuts in spending.

                              {time}  1915

  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I will just say that 
Republicans don't cut Medicare. In fact, the Biden bailout bill that 
was passed cut $36 billion a year in Medicare. Yet, the Senate 
Democrats have not done anything in regard to those Medicare cuts to 
seniors in the Biden bailout bill.
  Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. YARMUTH. Madam Speaker, as the gentleman from Missouri mentioned 
early on, this bill passed the Senate by a 90-2 margin, and I 
anticipate it will pass the House by a significant margin as well.
  Madam Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle 
to support the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Yarmuth) that the House suspend the rules 
and concur in the Senate amendment to the bill, H.R. 1868.
  The question was taken.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds 
being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Madam Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and 
nays.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 
8, the yeas and nays are ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 384, 
nays 38, not voting 6, as follows:
