                NEED FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND CLEAN ENERGY

  (Mrs. LEE of Nevada asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Madam Speaker, I rise today as Nevadans are 
facing the reality of our climate crisis head-on.
  Lake Mead has reached record low levels not seen since the 
construction of the Hoover Dam, and a massive heat wave has now brought 
record-breaking temperatures and safety warnings.
  We cannot deny the climate trajectory our country faces, and at the 
same time, our State and the country are climbing out of an economic 
crisis.
  There is no question that the opportunity to take action on both the 
economic and the climate crises is now.
  That is why I am proud to have joined my colleagues in the Problem 
Solvers Caucus to bring Democrats and Republicans together on an 
infrastructure proposal.
  We need to work together now more than ever. Our crumbling roads, 
bridges, and the tools that grind the gears of our day-to-day American 
life cannot support our economy and our planet without bold new 
investment.
  Those bold investments will create good-paying jobs in communities 
across the country.
  The time to deliver solutions is now.
