                  IMPROVING LIVES OF WORKING FAMILIES

  (Mr. CARTWRIGHT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, this week I was so proud to announce 
that $330 million from the American Rescue

[[Page H2275]]

Plan is on its way to my district to keep frontline public workers on 
the payroll; that $50 million is coming to my district to help our 
colleges, universities, and their students recover from this horrible 
pandemic; and that advance monthly child tax credit payments--a tax cut 
for working families with children--stand to benefit 126,000 children 
in my district alone.
  These are more than just numbers on a page. They represent the 
promise of life returning to this country as part of the American 
Rescue Plan which has put checks back in pockets, put people back in 
jobs, put the shots in the arms, and put our kids back in the schools.
  This is the American Rescue Plan, and it is working.
