GATEWAY SOLIDARITY
(Mrs. WAGNER asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Mrs. WAGNER. Madam Speaker, as we stand here today, Vladimir Putin
continues his unconscionable assault on the sovereign nation of
Ukraine, displacing millions of families and killing thousands of
innocent civilians.
In response to this horrific assault, my home State of Missouri has
projected the colors of the Ukrainian flag on to our State capitol, as
well as both landmarks in St. Louis and Kansas City.
My bill here today will illuminate the Gateway Arch, the defining
structure of the St. Louis skyline and a symbol of pride for the people
of St. Louis, Missouri. It will also show the world that we stand
united in solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
Madam Speaker, with the support of the entire Missouri delegation, I
urge my colleagues to pass this legislation.
