                      BIDEN'S BABY FORMULA CRISIS

  (Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, in the past 18 months, 
President Biden has shown the American people that he and his 
administration are not prepared to lead.
  According to a new whistleblower report, problems at the Michigan 
baby formula plant were actually reported to the U.S. Department of 
Labor in February of 2021. Instead of addressing this crisis head-on, 
the Biden administration squandered precious time. As a result, 
American families were unable to buy the formula that their infant 
children so desperately need.
  As a father, I think back on shopping for children's formula for my 
own children, and I am saddened by the thought of parents arriving 
today at the grocery store and seeing empty shelf after empty shelf.
  The longer President Biden remains in office, one thing continues to 
become clear: Americans cannot afford the failed leadership that has 
allowed this crisis and so many crises to continue.
