              EASE RESTRICTIONS ON CRIPPLING SUPPLY CHAINS

  (Mrs. STEEL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mrs. STEEL. Mr. Speaker, every day, more and more families are 
struggling to find the basic goods they need to run their lives. This 
latest shortage, 40 percent of all baby formula out of stock, 
highlights exactly how out of control this crisis has become.
  Orange County families are no stranger to the pressures of our broken 
supply chain. For months, we have been under the strain that millions 
of Americans are now experiencing.
  I have been calling on this administration, as well as Governor 
Newsom, to ease the restrictions that are further burdening our already 
crippled supply chains.
  From removing unworkable regulatory standards impacting the trucking 
industry, to embracing American energy independence, there are concrete 
steps that the Governor and President can take to address this crisis.
  They should do so immediately to provide relief to southern 
Californians and all Americans.
