                INFRASTRUCTURE IN AMERICA NEEDS OVERHAUL

  (Ms. MOORE of Wisconsin asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. MOORE of Wisconsin. Madam Speaker, I rise to support acting, 
taking up and passing the American Jobs Plan and the American Families 
Plan.
  Our infrastructure is in dire need of an overhaul, and it can't be 
put off any longer.
  We also need to invest in the human infrastructure in our country, 
and we don't have to choose one over the other.
  Americans across the Nation rely on sustainable infrastructure to get 
their children to school, to get to work, to facilitate commerce. We 
need to build on the investments that this Congress has already made 
through the American Rescue Plan, including dollars that are flowing to 
our communities.
  Madam Speaker, $2 million has recently been sent to Milwaukee for the 
East-West Bus Rapid Transit project in my district, a green public 
transit option.
  I support the American Jobs Plan, bold investment to get every lead 
pipe in our country out from underneath our ground.
  I also support investments in paid leave, childcare, and expanded 
access to affordable and quality health insurance.
  I urge my colleagues to support these measures.
