                   NO TIME TO WASTE ON INFRASTRUCTURE

  (Ms. WILD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. WILD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to talk about the INVEST in 
America Act, an important moment in the fight to upgrade our national 
infrastructure.
  I am so glad to see the House take a critical step toward fulfilling 
many of the key priorities laid out in the American Jobs Plan by 
passing this bill.
  I want to be really frank. There is no time to waste on this. We 
urgently need to fix the roads, bridges, tunnels, and drainage systems 
that we see crumbling around the country.
  Not only does the INVEST Act address some of the key infrastructure 
needs of our country, but it also creates good-paying, middle-class 
jobs that will turbocharge economic growth.
  The INVEST Act also includes $20 million in key infrastructure 
investments for my district, Pennsylvania's Seventh, that will support 
our economy and make roads safer for both motorists and pedestrians. I 
am proud to have secured this funding for my community.
  We have more work to do to get an infrastructure package finalized, 
sent to the President's desk, and signed into law. Our country simply 
cannot wait any longer, but I am proud to support the INVEST Act and to 
get us one step closer to that goal.
