                  INFRASTRUCTURE SHOULD BE A PRIORITY

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, President Joe Biden 
claimed a bipartisan agreement on infrastructure. On the surface this 
sounds like great news. Unfortunately, quickly following this new-found 
agreement, President Biden crushed the bipartisan bill by mandating 
wasteful Green New Deal borrowing, destroying jobs.
  Improving America's infrastructure should be a priority and to delay 
it for partisan reasons is another insult to the American people. The 
President's voters are misled with an absurd interpretation of 
infrastructure.
  This chaotic mentality has been exhibiting a reversal from the 
bipartisanship President Biden promised when running for President. 
Dishonoring promises and undermining bipartisan negotiations, the 
administration should actually be focused on the needs of the American 
people instead of destroying jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we should never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committees on Energy 
and Commerce, Ways and Means, and the Judiciary be discharged from 
further consideration of H.R. 18, No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, 
and I ask for its immediate consideration in the House.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. As the Chair has previously advised, the 
request cannot be entertained absent appropriate clearance.
