            BOLSTERING OUR NATION'S CRUMBLING INFRASTRUCTURE

  (Ms. BROWNLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. BROWNLEY. Madam Speaker, since day one, Democrats have diligently 
worked with the Biden administration to bolster our economy and rebuild 
our Nation's crumbling infrastructure.
  Earlier this month Democrats delivered on their promise to the 
American people by passing the bipartisan Infrastructure Investments 
and Jobs Act. The need for this historic investment in our roads and 
bridges and public transit and rail systems is clear in every State and 
every community throughout our country.
  Democrats not only delivered one of the largest Federal investments 
in our Nation's infrastructure, but we are delivering access to 
broadband and high-speed internet, and we are delivering clean and 
reliable drinking water to America's families.
  The bipartisanship infrastructure deal makes bold investments in our 
future by creating good-paying American jobs, fighting back against the 
climate crisis, and rebuilding our economy from the middle out.
  We must continue to build on this success--ensuring our democracy 
delivers for the people--by passing President Biden's transformative 
Build Back Better Act.
