                           ECONOMIC PROGRESS

  (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, at last night's State of the Union, 
President Biden had every reason to cite his extraordinary job creation 
record, the fastest job growth in U.S. history. After only one year in 
office, the President's American Rescue Plan was at the center of this 
achievement. Our economic growth was the fastest in nearly 40 years. As 
a result, the United States had a faster recovery than every other 
advanced economy in the G7.
  This progress has been made even while the United States is trying to 
defeat COVID-19. As chair of the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, 
I was particularly pleased to hear the President emphasize 
infrastructure, making goods move faster and cheaper, because this can 
only add to the historic job creation record he has achieved.
