         CONGRESS MUST UNIFY AND STAND FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, last evening the President of the 
United States was strong, and he was clear to stay away from divisive 
rhetoric. But do my friends on the other side of the aisle realize that 
anything that has not been accomplished is because they have been 
obstructionists?
  The Wall Street Journal says that the President and his American 
Rescue Plan has led to less damage, and it is the biggest and best 
recovery, at least in the past 50 years. It has had the least economic 
impact in terms of long-term unemployment, weak label markers, 
inexperienced workers, evictions and foreclosures. President Biden's 
American Rescue Plan has led to less of that than any recovery in the 
last 50 years.
  We know that in Ukraine it is a disaster. People are dying. It is 
Putin's war, but the President has brought NATO together.
  And, yes, if we could pass Build Back Better, which they have 
obstructed, we would be able to have childcare for all of America.
  So I wanted to just, for this one moment, get on the floor to say in 
all that they have said, why don't they take the call of the President? 
Let's unify and stand for the American people. Stop complaining, and 
let's get to work. President Biden called us to work as a strong 
America.
