               BUILD BACK BETTER IS HISTORIC LEGISLATION

  (Ms. NORTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. NORTON. Madam Speaker, Build Back Better not only meets long-
awaited critical needs, such as clean energy technology, it is fully 
paid for, unlike the 2001 and 2017 tax cuts under Republican 
Presidents.
  This is because the largest corporations and the highest income 
Americans will pay their fair share, are not rewarded for shipping jobs 
and profits overseas, and will have more difficulty avoiding IRS 
compliance.
  Moreover, 17 Nobel Prize-winning economists say the bill's 
investments enhance productive participation in our economy and ease 
the long-term inflation pressure that is the frontline concern of 
Americans today.
  Congress will make history by passing this historic legislation.
