                        A VITAL FUNDING PACKAGE

  (Mr. GARCIA of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GARCIA of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
passage of this year's omnibus spending bill and to express my 
excitement

for the community project funding the Fourth Congressional District of 
Illinois will receive.
  These crucial funds, totaling over $10 million, will expand 
affordable housing; improve access to healthcare; support violence 
prevention and counseling; and even build an enclosure around a 
community swimming pool, an absolute must-have in the windy city.
  Working class, immigrant neighborhoods like mine have never gotten 
the kind of investment and resources that other neighborhoods enjoy.
  I started as an activist to change that, to bring resources to my 
community, and I am proud to announce that this vital funding package 
will transform countless lives.
