BUILD BACK BETTER AGENDA
(Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. COHEN. Madam Speaker, we were here until about 12:15 this morning
trying to work out the votes for a rule to move America forward. I hope
we have them. We will find out soon.
We are trying to get the Build Back Better bill passed, the
resolution to provide the opportunity for us to have that bill come
forward, and the infrastructure bill as well. They will provide for
needed infrastructure for American companies, businesses, and families;
child care tax credits to be made permanent; prescription drug costs to
be reduced; water lines improved and corrected; wastewater, which was
so inadequate in Tennessee, where we had dozens die from floods.
Hopefully, we will get this passed, it is important business. I thank
Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer for their long hours and their work in
trying to build back America better.
