                           BUILD BACK BETTER

  (Ms. NORTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, Congress is close to delivering the Build 
Back Better Act this week containing our most comprehensive social 
provisions ever.
  Build Back Better will afford a plethora of gains our country has 
long sought--from our first significant action on climate change to 
urgently addressing the 100,000 teacher shortage as our children are 
returning to school.
  Congress is in the end zone on this bill now, although many of us are 
still trying to get prescription drug prices done. And Congress is 
paying for Build Back Better without adding to the deficit--unlike the 
last administration that gave tax breaks to those least in need.
  Mr. Speaker, we will make history with passage of Build Back Better.
