  Mrs. McBATH. Madam Speaker, there is a special place in every 
parent's heart for summer with our children.
  My son, Jordan, used to put on his little cleats and a big hat, and 
run out onto the field to play TeeBall with his friends on Saturday 
mornings.
  After that, we'd go to the pool to cool off, eat lunch under a shady 
tree, play in the backyard as day turned to dusk, and read a story 
together as he drifted off to sleep.
  Truly, summer is for hard-working parents to spend time with the 
little ones they love most. It is for our children to grow and live and 
play.
  And that's why I'm so proud we just passed the Child Tax Credit into 
law. It means more money in the pockets of middle class families.
  Now, over 680,000 families here in Georgia will receive a tax cut, 
and these credits will lift over 160,000 children out of poverty.
  This is more funding for Georgia families to protect our children and 
lift up our community.
