            CRACK PIPE DISTRIBUTION BY BIDEN ADMINISTRATION

  (Mrs. LESKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mrs. LESKO. Mr. Speaker, I was just listening to Congressman LaMalfa 
from California, and I couldn't agree with him more.
  Here we are, in the United States, where crime is skyrocketing. 
Fentanyl is crossing the border in record amounts and is the number one 
cause of death for ages 18 through 45.
  Here, today, I see this headline. I just googled it and came up with 
this one from blackenterprise.com. The headline says: ``Biden 
administration to fund the distribution of crack pipes and syringes to 
promote `racial equity.' ''
  ``On Monday, applications closed for the Biden administration's new 
$30 million grant program to provide crack pipes and `smoking kits' to 
promote `racial equity.' ''
  Are you kidding me? Our crime is rising, and this is what the Biden 
administration thinks is the priority? It is nuts.
