                IN SUPPORT OF THE BUILD BACK BETTER ACT

  (Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her 
remarks.)
  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in 
support of the Build Back Better Act, which makes critical investments 
to green our economy and protect our environment.
  The Committee on Oversight and Reform's portion of this bill provides 
nearly $12 billion to transition Federal fleets, including the Postal 
Service, to electric vehicles, making the United States a leader on 
climate change by building an environmentally friendly fleet of the 
future.
  I am especially pleased that we have included dedicated funding for 
implementation of the President's Justice40 Initiative, a commitment to 
ensure that at least 40 percent of the benefits of infrastructure 
investments go to communities most impacted by environmental injustice.
  The Build Back Better Act is a crucial piece of legislation that will 
promote equity and protect our environment.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support it.
