INVEST IN AMERICA ACT
(Ms. BROWNLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
[[Page H3315]]
Ms. BROWNLEY. Madam Speaker, this week, the House will consider the
INVEST in America Act.
This bill is a critical and transformative component of President
Biden's bold action plan to invest in our Nation's infrastructure while
creating good-paying American jobs and rebuilding our economy as we
continue to navigate through the pandemic.
Madam Speaker, I am pleased the bill includes several of my
provisions that make significant investments in building resilient
infrastructure to withstand the impacts of climate change, including
wildfires and floods, while at the same time putting the U.S. on a path
to achieving zero emissions in the transportation sector.
The INVEST in America Act provides us an opportunity to fix our
country's crumbling infrastructure while ensuring economic prosperity
for America's workers and their families.
I am committed to continuing to work with President Biden and all my
colleagues on both sides of the aisle to ensure these historic
investments in our future come to fruition now.
This is our moment.
