            ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN

  (Ms. BROWNLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. BROWNLEY. Madam Speaker, last week marked the 1-year anniversary 
of the passage of the American Rescue Plan.
  The American Rescue Plan was the bold and necessary action we needed 
to take to put us on the path of economic recovery. This was the boost 
our country needed to get shots in arms, Americans back to work, and 
money back in the pockets of working families.
  Despite unprecedented challenges, the Biden administration has led 
our Nation to record economic growth, including the largest job 
creation in American history. In President Biden's first year, over 7.4 
million jobs were added to the economy. Also, growth is up, wages are 
up, and unemployment is down. But we know we still face inflationary 
times.
  President Biden and Democrats are also acting to fix supply chains 
and taking strong steps to boost competition, strengthen U.S. 
manufacturing, create good-paying jobs, and lower everyday costs. We 
are working towards building a better America and delivering for 
America's working families.
