                        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.
