                      INVESTING IN INFRASTRUCTURE

  (Mr. CARDENAS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARDENAS. Mr. Speaker, thanks to President Biden's Infrastructure 
Investment and Jobs Act that I and many of us voted for, we are now 
putting those resources on the ground across America.
  The first billions of dollars to go to California and every State in 
the Union are now being put in place to fix bridges. Next, we are going 
to fix our roads and build our infrastructure to electrify our system 
throughout the country.
  These are the kinds of things that our voters sent us to Washington 
to do, to bring those resources back to every single community, every 
single one of our communities, and that is what we are doing here in 
Congress with a President who actually believes in the fundamentals of 
infrastructure and making sure that we put our American workers back to 
work to build our Nation as it should be and what we are so proud of.
  We are the number one infrastructure place in the world, and we will 
continue to be so with these investments.
