            ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN

  (Ms. MOORE of Wisconsin asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. MOORE of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commemorate the 1-year 
anniversary of the American Rescue Plan, or the ARP.
  The ARP helped to provide critical assistance to individuals and 
small businesses during our historic COVID-19 pandemic that has driven 
job and wage growth in our country.
  I will focus on just one little piece of this law: the provision 
boosting the child tax credit.
  Study after study has shown the benefits of this policy: helping 
families meet basic needs such as food and utilities, a need that has 
become even greater when we talk about the rising costs and inflation 
we are all experiencing.
  Unfortunately, this support ended as families are grappling with 
higher prices for a range of basic needs.
  If you really want to help families struggling with inflation, renew 
the successful ARP child tax credit. It is the right prescription for 
struggling families.
