                    HOUSE DEMOCRATS' FIRST 100 DAYS

  (Mr. AGUILAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. AGUILAR. Madam Speaker, earlier this week, we marked the 100th 
day of the 117th Congress, and I rise today to reflect on some of the 
progress we have made in the House.
  In our first 100 days, we passed the Equality Act to ensure full 
equality under the law for our LGBT community.
  We removed the ratification deadline from the ERA to extend that same 
equality to all American women.
  We passed the Dream and Promise Act, giving young immigrants who call 
this country home a chance to build their lives here.
  We passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to reform our 
broken system of policing.
  We took meaningful, lifesaving action to prevent gun violence and 
stop further tragedies.
  The recent tragedies our country has endured have further highlighted 
the need for the Senate to take action quickly on these bills.
  We passed the American Rescue Plan, the most important and ambitious 
investment in the American people into nearly a century. This bold 
legislation gives us a roadmap to help us build back better and to 
emerge from this pandemic stronger than ever. It has helped 50 percent 
of Americans receive a lifesaving vaccine and put money in the pockets 
of people.
  I am so proud of all we have achieved, and I know our work is just 
getting started.
