                  BUILD BACK BETTER--AN AMERICAN PLAN

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COHEN. The President is trying to help America, help the middle 
class, help the forgotten.
  The Build Back Better bill will give people childcare that they need 
and women to go to work. It will give a child tax credit and make it 
permanent, lifting half the children in this country out of poverty. It 
will give elderly people who are infirm and need to be at home elderly 
in-home care so they can stay in their homes. That is wonderful for 
those people, something they need.
  It will provide for family and medical leave, something every other 
industrial country in the world has. It will put $500 billion in 
unbelievable investment in the future of our planet, on climate 
controls, and credits for folks to go into renewables and solar and 
heat, wind-powered energy, and improving the electrical grid.
  It will do many wonderful things, and it is all paid for. And the 
only Americans paying more in taxes are those making $10 million and 
above, they will pay a surtax.
  Madam Speaker, it is a great plan. It is an American plan. It should 
be a bipartisan plan. And I am for it. Thank you, President Biden.
