                       FUNDING ELECTRIC VEHICLES

  (Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, we have a choice. 
We can work to save our planet and become a global leader in green 
technology, or we can allow our planet to become uninhabitable. We must 
choose to protect our planet, the only home we have.
  Transitioning to electric vehicles will dramatically reduce carbon 
emissions and will create a cleaner world for our children. That is why 
my committee approved billions of dollars to transition the Postal 
Service and GSA fleets to electric vehicles and provide the necessary 
charging infrastructure across the country in the postal offices.
  This will fund more than 300,000 electric vehicles. That is more 
electric vehicles than were sold across the entire country last year.
  I urge my colleagues to support the Build Back Better plan, which 
includes funding for electric vehicles that will greatly help our 
environment.
