                    AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE ON THE MOVE

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, this morning President Joseph Biden was 
brilliant. He gathered together the members of the Democratic Caucus, 
and he spoke to the American people about the brilliance of a seismic, 
monumental effort to change the lives of generations of Americans.
  We as Democrats stood united behind the framework of Build Back 
Better, realizing that we will change the lives of kindergartners and 
children across the land and change the world. With universal preschool 
for 3- and 4-year-olds; affordable, high-quality childcare; affordable, 
high-quality care for hundreds of thousands of those older Americans in 
the latter part of their lives, allowing them to live at home in 
dignity--expanded child tax cut, is what I would like to call it--we 
stood unified.
  For all the chattering about friends on the other side of the aisle, 
name one good deed that they have done to change generations of 
Americans.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to stand with Joe Biden, the President of the 
United States. When he leaves and goes to the G20, he will be able to 
say that he has a united Caucus that believes in climate change, that 
believes in humanity and the human infrastructure that Build Back 
Better is.
  We are on the move. We are on the road. We are going to pass both 
bills. And we are going to change Americans' lives forever and ever and 
ever. I am proud to be a Democrat and to stand in this monumental era 
of our time.
  Mr. Speaker, tell the American people we are on the move.
