                BUILDING A BETTER AMERICA FOR THE PEOPLE

  (Mr. LIEU asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. LIEU. Mr. Speaker, Democrats are building a better America for 
the people.

[[Page H1346]]

  This week is the anniversary of the American Rescue Plan that 
Democrats passed in the House and the Senate, and that President Biden 
signed into law. That law was transformative. It helped schools reopen 
and remain open. It also increased vaccine distribution across America. 
It got people into jobs, and it funded police departments.
  We then followed the American Rescue Plan with an infrastructure law 
that is going to rebuild roads, bridges, and highways; it is going to 
take lead out of our water pipes; it is going to have EV charging 
stations across America; and it is going to make sure that we have 
broadband everywhere.
  What are Republicans doing? I am not really sure. But I know that two 
of them recently attended a white nationalist conference, and last week 
174 of them voted ``no'' to providing benefits to veterans who inhaled 
toxic fumes.
