                LOWERING COSTS FOR HARDWORKING AMERICANS

  (Ms. BROWN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BROWN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, House Democrats have been fighting to 
lower costs for hardworking American families every day. From the gas 
pump to the grocery store checkout lines, we have reclaimed our 
commitment to our mission of creating a fair and balanced economy where 
Americans can thrive, and our efforts are starting to pay off in some 
areas.
  For example, gas prices continue to drop across the Nation, which 
leaves a little more money in the pockets of American families, 
allowing them to spend more on necessities like putting food on the 
table.
  We have passed a series of bills to lower everyday costs for 
Americans, including the Lower Food and Fuel Costs Act and the Consumer 
Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act.
  However, we need more.
  We must continue to put people over politics and pass more 
comprehensive legislation to help Americans thrive.
