                         BUILD BACK BETTER ACT

  (Ms. WILD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. WILD. Mr. Speaker, we have been working hard on a transformative 
bill that will make a difference in so many people's lives, the Build 
Back Better Act. And yet, the Democrats who are behind this bill, who 
have worked on it so hard, have been under a barrage of attack and 
criticism for being in disarray, for being unable to get it done.
  But let me say this: This is how it should be done. We are talking 
about historic unprecedented investments in our climate, in universal 
pre-K, in drug pricing, in housing policy. Why would anyone think that 
that is a bill that should come together quickly?
  This is the legislative process. We craft. We read. We edit. We make 
changes. We read it again--all for the good of the American people.
  Mr. Speaker, we will get this done and it will be a solid, well-
thought-out, beautiful piece of legislation. It will make a real 
difference in people's lives. Keep the faith.
