                COMPLETE FISCAL YEAR 2003 APPROPRIATIONS

  (Mr. MRVAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MRVAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to encourage all of my 
colleagues to complete our work and finalize the fiscal year 2023 
appropriations measures.
  We have a constitutional obligation to fund government operations, 
and I also would highlight the vital importance of community-funded 
projects included in these measures.
  Notably, for the incredible law enforcement personnel in the First 
Congressional District of Indiana, I am grateful for the inclusion of 
specific funds for the Porter County Sheriff's Office, the Whiting 
Police Department, and the Gary Police Department. These

critical funds will be used for equipment upgrades, including license 
plate readers and in-car cameras, which will improve the ability of our 
police officers to protect our communities and increase public safety.
  I urge my colleagues to focus on the completing of this necessary 
work to support our first responders and the economic vitality of our 
Nation.
