designees.
  The gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Danny K. Davis) and the gentleman 
from Ohio (Mr. Wenstrup) each will control 30 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Danny K. 
Davis).


                             General Leave

  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent 
that all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and 
extend their remarks and to insert extraneous material on H.R. 8876.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Illinois?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time 
as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, first of all, let me commend and thank Chairman Neal and 
Ranking Member Brady for their cordiality and the outstanding way in 
which they have managed the affairs of the Committee on Ways and Means. 
That is one of the reasons that we are here today, for such an 
outstanding bipartisan bill, to talk about the welfare of children and 
families.
  For struggling families, home visiting is a life-changing experience. 
Research demonstrates that home visiting works. I have seen these 
successes in my home city of Chicago, parents and home visitors 
partnering to tackle big challenges and making children healthier and 
safer.

                              {time}  0915

  My friend Jackie Walorski saw home visiting work in her district, 
too. Jackie was deeply committed to helping vulnerable children and 
families, and she was my partner in our committee's effort to preserve 
and strengthen home visiting. I really wish she was here today as we 
continue with the work that we did together.
  I also thank our colleagues on the Energy and Commerce Committee--
Chairman Pallone, Ranking Member McMorris Rodgers, Health Committee 
Chair Eshoo, and Health Subcommittee Ranking Member Guthrie--for their 
leadership on this bill.

[[Page H8716]]

  The Jackie Walorski Maternal and Child Home Visiting Reauthorization 
Act would reauthorize the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home 
Visiting program for 5 years.
  Over that 5 years, the bill would double our Federal investment in 
evidence-based home visiting, bringing home visiting to more families 
and communities.
  This bill would more than double our investment in Tribal 
communities, where so many residents need home visiting but have been 
left out due to a lack of funding.
  It would invest in the critical home visiting workforce because it is 
the support and relationships that home visitors build with mothers, 
fathers, and children that make home visiting work.
  And it would ensure that States and territories have reliable, 
predictable funding and rules so that they can focus on helping more 
families thrive.
  The Ways and Means Committee passed this important, bipartisan 
legislation on a unanimous vote of 41-0. I urge all my colleagues to 
join us in supporting the bill today, as we work to enact it into law 
in the coming weeks. I also thank my colleagues at the Ways and Means 
and Energy and Commerce Committees for their input and support on the 
introduced bill.
  The bill also has the overwhelming support of home visiting 
stakeholders, including the Home Visiting Coalition, which endorsed the 
bill and wrote that it addressed every request the coalition made in a 
``thoughtful and productive manner.''
  We have an opportunity to make a real difference for children and 
families across America, and so I urge all of my colleagues to vote 
``yes'' and then work with us to enact the bill this year.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  I thank Chairman Davis. I appreciate his work in bringing H.R. 8876, 
the Jackie Walorski Maternal and Child Home Visiting Reauthorization 
Act of 2022, through our committee, and I am proud to support this 
effective legislation named in honor of our dear friend, Representative 
Jackie Walorski. Jackie had a servant's heart, and we shared not only a 
strong friendship but a passion for creating opportunities to help 
others beyond just one day, with life-changing measures and positive 
outcomes.
  In this case, those that are served are mothers and their new 
children, those that otherwise have many obstacles that can often lead 
to costly and negative health outcomes. Jackie worked tirelessly and 
passionately on this program with Dr. Davis. The Maternal, Infant, and 
Early Childhood Home Visiting program is a program that is successful, 
and the data supports that.
  What does success look like? A healthy mother with a caring support 
system delivering and raising a healthy new child that is ready to 
grow, learn, and thrive.
  Earlier this year, I visited Every Child Succeeds, a Cincinnati 
nonprofit that helps support mothers and young children. During the 
roundtable discussion with local moms and home visitors, I heard 
firsthand how the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting 
program, MIECHV, as we call it, we heard how it is working. I also 
heard kids being loud and laughing, and I thought to myself, that is 
the sound of happy, healthy children.
  Our bipartisan legislation reauthorizes MIECHV for 5 years and will 
serve more moms and babies by growing the capacity of the program in 
partnership with the States. MIECHV is a successful program, first of 
all, by phasing in a State match to vulnerable populations. We will 
expand the research of evidence-based home visiting programs across the 
country by adding $174 million in new State funding.
  Second, we target funds to families in poverty by directing three-
quarters of additional MIECHV funding based on the number of children 
under 5 in poverty in each State.
  Third, the bill improves outcomes reporting so more people will have 
visibility and access to the good work being done by home visitors.
  HHS will also be required to implement a State outcome dashboard, so 
we have more transparency on program performance measures and clinical 
indicators to show actual impact on families.
  Lastly, we apply lessons learned from the pandemic and allow virtual 
visits to continue on a limited basis while maintaining MIECHV's 
commitment to in-person visits and high evidence standards.
  As a physician, I am very familiar with the evidence-based benefits 
of in-home support for both new parents and children, and I am glad we 
are able to find common ground to provide stability for the program and 
the vulnerable families that the program serves. This program helps 
maternal and child health, family safety and stability, and readiness 
for school.
  People said to me on my visit, ``I don't think my child would be 
healthy without this program, but home visiting made all the difference 
for us.'' That is proof that this program really works.
  I also want to take a moment to celebrate and honor my good friend 
and battle buddy, Jackie Walorski. I am honored to continue her work 
here today. I can't think of a better way to honor her than seeing this 
bill through. She was a devoted public servant who cared deeply about 
this issue.
  Today, this morning, another dear friend of mine is unexpectedly 
being laid to rest, another physician that believed in this program. 
Dr. O'dell Owens, a well-known and loved healthcare hero in Cincinnati, 
Ohio, a man for others, a true public servant, my hero and mentor.

  Dr. Owens, as an OB/GYN, brought the gift of life to so many, 
specializing in caring for expecting mothers that face many challenges, 
always concerned about the health and well-being of the mothers that he 
cared for as well as the babies he would bring into the world.
  Dr. Owens' services to the community extended well beyond the 
delivery room and into education, public health, and even served as 
coroner. Dr. Owens loved the MIECHV program and the long-term, 
evidence-based positive effects that the program has had on so many 
lives and families.
  I can say with confidence that Dr. Owens and Jackie Walorski would 
strongly urge the reauthorization of this bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank, again, Chairman Davis and the late ranking 
Member and dear friend Congresswoman Walorski for spearheading this 
issue and their work on this subcommittee. I urge my colleagues to 
support this legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
outstanding gentlewoman from California (Ms. Chu).
  Ms. CHU. Mr. Speaker, it was such an honor to work closely with the 
late Representative Jackie Walorski. I was consistently struck by her 
dedication to her district and deep desire to find ways to make our 
healthcare system work for everyone.
  On the Ways and Means Committee, in particular, she and I worked 
together to co-lead bills on breast cancer equity and on medical 
nutrition therapy for those in the Medicare program with eating 
disorders.
  I also had the pleasure of co-chairing the Integrative Health and 
Wellness Caucus with her to help educate Members of Congress on the 
various ways that integrative health can help support our traditional 
medical system and lead to improved care for patients.
  I am thrilled that we are honoring her legacy with today's bill which 
reauthorizes the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting 
program, or MIECHV. This bill also increases for the first time in a 
decade Federal investments into the program.
  Home visiting for pregnant women and families with young children 
have a proven record of improving outcomes for children's health, well-
being, and readiness for school. But currently, less than 5 percent of 
eligible families each year have access to the program, including in my 
own district in Los Angeles County. An estimated 37,000 families were 
served through evidence-based home visiting models in 2021 alone, but 
750,000 more families were eligible for services during this same time 
but could not receive them.
  In addition, recruitment and retention of home visitors are key 
challenges to adequately serving families. Low wages and poor benefits 
for the

[[Page H8717]]

field is a main driver of these challenges, and additional funding is 
needed to address these workforce challenges and provide competitive 
wages to these vital providers. That is why I am so excited about the 
investments in this bill which will help increase capacity to serve 
those in need.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.''
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Nebraska (Mr. Smith).
  Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Mr. Speaker, I thank Dr. Wenstrup for the time 
and thank both him and Dr. Davis for the work they have done to get 
this bipartisan bill to the floor.
  I rise in strong support of this 5-year reauthorization of the 
Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting program, which 
honors our late colleague and friend, Jackie Walorski.
  Jackie spent every day working in this body to improve the lives of 
families in Indiana and across the country, and enacting this bill, 
which enhances the ability of States and communities to help at-risk 
new parents care for and support their children, I think is a fitting 
tribute.
  I led the last MIECHV reauthorization 5 years ago when I chaired the 
Human Resources Subcommittee, and this bill actually enhances 
everything that MIECHV does right.
  It is a preventative program which keeps kids out of the child 
welfare system and saves money.
  It uses fact-based methods to ensure our support dollars are well 
spent.
  It asks States to provide matching funds, so they have some skin in 
the game when utilizing this funding, and it is paid for within our 
committee's jurisdiction without raising taxes.
  MIECHV is a model for how our safety net should work, and I strongly 
support this bill.
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from Wisconsin (Ms. Moore), a fierce defender of poor and 
disadvantaged people.
  Ms. MOORE of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I rise to provide enthusiastic 
support of this bipartisan bill to reauthorize the Maternal, Infant, 
and Early Childhood Home Visiting program, now to be named after our 
late, marvelous colleague, Ms. Jackie Walorski.
  This strong reauthorization for 5 years would provide additional 
funding. It would double the Tribal home visiting set-aside to respond 
to the needs of Tribal communities for home visiting and address 
workforce shortages, among other things.
  Now, home visiting is not just some feel-good policy. As my 
colleagues on both sides have indicated, it has been repeatedly 
evaluated and consistently proven to provide improved outcomes for 
families and children, and we have good data that shows that it works.
  Importantly, we have families that are stronger because they have 
gotten the help that they needed when they needed it. We have new moms, 
for example, who have access to help at critical points as they try to 
navigate this exciting but frightening moment in life.

                              {time}  0930

  Oh, my goodness. It reminds me of when I was 18 years old some 50 
years ago and had my first baby. I had a baby who had an asthma attack 
4 days after birth, and I didn't even know how to change a diaper. The 
home visiting program was a fail-safe for me.
  I think, too, of women like Brittany who live in our community. She 
benefited from Children's Wisconsin's Healthy Families Milwaukee County 
Home Visiting Program 8 years ago but then reached out to the Home 
Visiting Program earlier this year for help because she was now 
pregnant again after a recent cancer diagnosis.
  Brittany trusted her home visitor to help guide her through this 
pregnancy as they had supported her in the past. They were able to set 
up home visits and help Brittany advocate for her own healthcare, for 
herself as well as her unborn child, and supported the entire family.
  When they asked Brittany what was the most valuable thing that she 
got from the program other than, of course, the plethora of help, one 
of the things that struck me was that her home visitor helped her to 
learn to trust her own instincts, something that you have to have if 
you are a mom.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Illinois (Mr. LaHood).
  Mr. LaHOOD. Mr. Speaker, I thank Dr. Wenstrup and Mr. Davis for 
shepherding through this legislation.
  I rise in strong support of H.R. 8876, the Jackie Walorski Maternal 
and Child Home Visiting Reauthorization Act of 2022.
  The MIECHV program has over 2,700 participants and has conducted over 
17,000 home visits in my home State of Illinois, including in Peoria 
and McLean Counties and throughout my district.
  I understand how important it is to support families, women, and 
children with evidence-based services to mitigate maternal and infant 
mortality risk factors and improve overall health outcomes, 
particularly in rural and underserved communities.
  Evidence-based programs, including home visits by nurses, social 
workers, or early childhood professionals, have improved maternal and 
newborn health services that mothers and infants can count on to help 
set them up for success in the future.
  I also acknowledge and take a moment to recognize Congresswoman 
Jackie Walorski, the former ranking member of the Subcommittee on 
Worker and Family Support. She was a wonderful colleague and friend who 
is deeply missed every day in this body. Passing this legislation today 
is a recognition of Jackie's tireless advocacy for the renewal of 
MIECHV and a testament to her remarkable legacy.
  We honor her today by passing this legislation, and I urge my 
colleagues to support this bill and everybody in this body to honor 
Jackie.
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the 
gentlewoman from Alabama (Ms. Sewell), an outstanding gentlewoman that 
many of us call the pride of the South.
  Ms. SEWELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer my support of the 
bipartisan Jackie Walorski Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home 
Visiting Reauthorization Act, or MIECHV.
  This legislation represents not only a commitment by me to the 
mothers, children, and families in my district, but it also reflects a 
sincere love and respect that this committee has for our late, great, 
wonderful colleague, Jackie Walorski, and the work that she did on the 
Ways and Means Committee as chair of this amazing subcommittee.
  Currently, over 1,800 pregnant women and new mothers throughout my 
district in Alabama receive services from the MIECHV program. The 
actions taken today by the House will ensure that these families will 
have access to the essential early childhood care that they so 
critically need for proper growth during a mother and child's early 
developmental years.
  Increased access to home visitation services, including postnatal 
care and screening for postpartum depression, will guarantee that 
women, especially those women of color in my district, can continue to 
have regular access to medical professionals, thus giving them the 
opportunity to have the highest form of care offered.
  Specifically, in my district, the women, children, and families of 
Dallas, Lowndes, Montgomery, Perry, and Wilcox Counties are poised to 
benefit from this reauthorization.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in supporting this. What a wonderful 
tribute to an amazing public servant. It was an honor not only to work 
with her but to call her my friend. Let's vote ``yes'' to reauthorize 
this amazing program.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
Texas (Mr. Brady), the ranking member of the committee.
  Mr. BRADY. Mr. Speaker, this week, we honor the legacy of 
Representative Jackie Walorski by renewing our commitment to help moms 
and babies thrive. I thank Chairman Davis and our Republican leader, 
Dr. Wenstrup, for their leadership on this issue.
  Throughout her life, Jackie served vulnerable families, from the 
mission field in Romania to the halls of Congress, where she proudly 
represented the men and women of Indiana's Second Congressional 
District.
  She reached across the aisle and worked closely with Chairman Davis 
to move this important bipartisan bill forward. My last conversation 
with Jackie was by Zoom on this bill itself.

[[Page H8718]]

  We miss her very much. We are proud to dedicate the product of her 
collaboration today to her because she has been such an inspiration in 
these efforts.
  Jackie knew that this was a critical program that supports vulnerable 
families and improves the health of moms and babies through pregnancy 
into the early years of a child's life.
  This program builds upon decades of research that proves home visits 
by a nurse, social worker, or other trained professional during 
pregnancy, and in the very first years of a child's life, help to 
prevent child abuse and neglect, support positive parenting, improve 
maternal and child health, and promote the development of kids and 
school readiness.

  This is a bipartisan bill that reflects many of our Republican 
priorities, including increasing transparency about outcomes and 
results for families and targeting dollars to the neediest communities.
  Most Federal programs, unfortunately, operate in a black box. Less 
than $1 out of every $100 the government spends is backed by even the 
most basic evidence and research to make sure the money is spent wisely 
and succeeds.
  Unlike many of those programs, MIECHV is evidence-based, so we know 
the real impact on families and children. We are able to direct funding 
toward what works for them.
  The Walorski home visiting program will gradually increase funding 
from $400 million a year to $800 million a year over a 5-year period 
and introduces a State match so we can stretch those dollars even 
further back home.
  The principle is simple. Where the States see value in investing, the 
Federal Government will also invest. It also ensures the new matching 
funds are allocated to States based on the number of kids under 5 
living below poverty, so funding goes where the needs and the kids are.
  The bill increases transparency by creating what I love, which is a 
State-by-State outcomes dashboard so all of us can see how these 
interventions are helping families, and it maintains the current focus 
on high standards.
  I take this moment to thank my friend, Dr. and Representative 
Wenstrup, who serves today as acting Republican leader of the 
Subcommittee on Worker and Family Support. He stepped up to the plate 
to carry on Jackie's legacy with grace and determination, and I thank 
him for his hard work.
  I think all of us can think of no more fitting tribute to Jackie than 
the bipartisan support coming together for something that helps our 
most needy families.
  I, like many of us today, am grateful we are getting this bill across 
the finish line together in her honor.
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of 
my time.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman 
from North Carolina (Mr. Murphy).
  Mr. MURPHY of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the 
Jackie Walorski MIECHV Reauthorization Act.
  Maternal, infant, and childhood home visiting programs support 
pregnant women and their young children with evidence-based approaches 
that improve maternal and child health outcomes for the most 
vulnerable.
  Over the last 30 years, I have taken care of many single mothers who 
struggled to take care of their children. Sadly, the problem is only 
getting worse with the explosion of fatherlessness in this country.
  This is a program we all wish didn't need to exist, but we are all 
very glad that it does. This is actually when the government gets it 
right.
  I personally have been in these homes, when I was in the State 
legislature, and these young women desperately need our help. Even more 
so, the children of these single mothers need our help.
  This program will help young mothers get the help that they need for 
their children. These are not handouts; these are hand-ups. This is 
what government is supposed to do.
  I am proud of our colleague and dear friend, the late Congresswoman 
Walorski, for her dedicated leadership on behalf of women and babies 
throughout the country.
  Jackie shined a bright light in this Chamber and was resolute in her 
love and support for American families. This bill cements her legacy 
and will improve the lives of millions of Americans for generations to 
come.
  I am honored to support this legislation and urge all of my 
colleagues to vote for the reauthorization act in honor of Jackie 
Walorski.
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of 
my time.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
Georgia (Mr. Ferguson).
  Mr. FERGUSON. Mr. Speaker, I am honored today to stand here to honor 
our dear friend, Jackie Walorski, and her tireless efforts on this 
piece of legislation, the Jackie Walorski Maternal and Child Home 
Visiting Reauthorization Act of 2022.
  This legislation is important because it really does provide needed 
services to our most vulnerable. Just in the State of Georgia, this 
program produced over 20,000 home visits and really had an impact on 
families with early development, mental health, substance abuse, and a 
lot of other things that some incredible nurses did.
  This program is being reauthorized with some much-needed reforms in 
it. There is going to be stability in the program. Jackie fought hard 
to make sure that this program was based on evidence so the dollars 
will go where they work.
  I am honored to be here today to support this legislation, but more 
importantly, I am here to honor our dear friend, Jackie Walorski.
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of 
my time.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Georgia (Mr. Carter).
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my 
support for H.R. 8876, the Jackie Walorski Maternal and Child Home 
Visiting Reauthorization Act of 2022.
  This bill is a critical piece of legislation that will help mothers 
and children at every stage of life. The maternal, infant, and early 
childhood home visiting program reaches new parents and their children 
from before birth through kindergarten with in-home support.
  In meeting with families in the program, I have seen firsthand how 
effective this program is at improving maternal and child health, 
family safety and stability, child development, and readiness for 
school.
  In my home State of Georgia, we have the highest rate of maternal 
mortality in the United States. I have worked on this issue since I was 
a member of the Georgia State legislature, and it still baffles me why 
Georgia has the highest rate.

  By passing this bill, not only are we addressing maternal and newborn 
health, but we are also furthering the legacy of Representative 
Walorski, who dedicated her life to helping others. I can think of no 
better tribute to our dear friend, who departed us far too soon.
  For these reasons, I look forward to supporting this bill, and I 
encourage my colleagues to do the same.
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of 
my time.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Kelly), my friend.
  Mr. KELLY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I am standing beside this 
picture of Jackie Walorski, and anybody that ever knew Jackie knew this 
is the way she always looked. This bill today that we are talking about 
reveals who she really was and still is.
  She was born on August 17, 1963, and she passed on August 3, 2022--59 
years on Earth, 59 years of a servant's life.
  Jackie Walorski never did anything for herself, to advance herself. 
Her main concerns were the mothers that she worried about and the 
children that she worried about because she knew that was America's 
greatest asset.
  She knew that everything she did in her life was not about her but 
about others. She brought such a new concept to the floor, the people's 
House, to not only transform it in legislation but to change people's 
hearts.
  She would never talk about herself as a Representative or a 
Congresswoman.

[[Page H8719]]

She was always here for others, not for herself.
  When we look at legislation, from time to time, we start to think 
about what it is that we are really doing. What are we asking our 
taxpayers to invest in? If it is not our future, then why are we here?
  The most important asset for Jackie Walorski was expectant mothers, 
infants, and childcare. She was truly unusual, but in her 59 years, she 
did so much to help so many.

                              {time}  0945

  I think for us to be here today on the people's House, on the floor, 
and to be able to share who she is--I said August 3 she passed. The 
only difference is Jackie is not here in person, but she is looking 
down from her spot in heaven and smiling the way she is smiling in this 
picture because that is the essence of who Jackie Walorski was. We all 
loved her, we all miss her, and we know we will never replace her, but 
we sure thank God for giving her to us for 59 years.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Drs. Wenstrup and Davis for bringing this 
forward, and I cannot believe in anything other than a complete ``yes'' 
from every single Member of the House on this bill.
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of 
my time.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from 
West Virginia (Mrs. Miller), my neighbor.
  Mrs. MILLER of West Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise also in support of 
the Jackie Walorski Maternal and Child Home Visiting Reauthorization 
Act of 2022.
  Programs like these are essential and they deliver meaningful results 
that strengthen our families and our communities.
  In West Virginia, the MIECHV program has made over 21,159 home 
visits, served 1,556 families, and impacted over 1,943 children. The 
program supports our vulnerable pregnant women, and it comes alongside 
parents with young children to ensure that they all have the resources 
that they need to raise their children.
  I also, of course, take a moment to recognize my dear friend and 
colleague, Jackie Walorski, who this bill is named after.
  Jackie was my mentor in Congress when I first came here and she very 
quickly became my friend. We shared meals together, good conversation, 
and her office was even directly across from mine in the same hall.
  It was my pleasure to serve alongside her on the Worker and Family 
Support Subcommittee. Her leadership and her passion for these issues 
are reflected in this bipartisan bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge all my colleagues to vote in favor of this 
resolution.
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I continue to reserve 
the balance of my time.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Kansas (Mr. Estes).
  Mr. ESTES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor our friend and 
colleague, Jackie Walorski, with a cause that was near to her heart, 
the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting program, also 
known as the MIECHV program.
  Jackie lived a life of service, not just as a Member of the House of 
Representatives, but as a missionary for 4 years in Romania where, not 
surprisingly, she worked with a lot of children. She championed 
children and families in her role on the Worker and Family Support 
Subcommittee, and always advocated for the Hoosiers she represented.
  In her honor today, we're going to pass this critical bipartisan 
legislation reauthorizing a program that its whole purpose is to ensure 
that mothers and children do not fall through the cracks. Families will 
be able to be met where they are and connected to a host of support 
systems.
  Earlier this year, I visited with some early childhood supporters in 
Wichita, and the MIECHV program was something that they repeatedly told 
me was important for the work they do and the families they serve.
  I look forward to seeing strong bipartisan support today to pass this 
bill, lift up children and families, and honor our friend, Jackie.
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I continue to reserve 
the balance of my time.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentlewoman 
from Missouri (Mrs. Wagner).
  Mrs. WAGNER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. 
Wenstrup), my dear friend, for yielding to me.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 8876, the Jackie 
Walorski Maternal and Child Home Visiting Reauthorization Act.
  I would commend Chairman Neal, Chairman Davis, Ranking Member Brady, 
and all the members of the Committee on Ways and Means for bringing 
this legislation to the floor and honoring our late colleague and my 
dearest friend, a selfless servant, Jackie Walorski.
  The MIECHV program is backed by decades of research that proves home 
visits by a nurse, social worker, or other trained professional during 
pregnancy, and in the first year of a child's life supports positive 
parenting, improves maternal and child health, and promotes child 
development and school readiness. This program has proven vital to 
families in underserved communities, especially in my home State of 
Missouri.
  Life is a beautiful and precious gift, and all babies deserve the 
opportunity to thrive. Women need a strong support system as they 
navigate the miracles and the challenges of motherhood.
  This legislation that embodies my dear friend, Jackie Walorski, was 
very close to her heart. It will give women, especially the most 
vulnerable, the support they need to build a happy, healthy future for 
their children.
  Right now, Jackie Walorski's light is shining down on this 
institution and on the people of Indiana's Second District. All our 
love to her dear husband, Dean; her mother, Martha; and all of those 
that served with her.
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to close, 
and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Indiana (Mr. Yakym).
  Mr. YAKYM. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 8876, the Jackie Walorski 
Maternal and Child Home Visiting Reauthorization Act.
  On behalf of Indiana's Second District, I am grateful to the entire 
Committee on Ways and Means for their work in putting together this 
bipartisan legislation and honoring Jackie in such a meaningful way.

  Jackie spent her life as a tireless advocate for hardworking Hoosiers 
across the Second District. In particular, she put a tremendous amount 
of time and effort towards the reauthorization of the MIECHV program.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this measure.
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I continue to reserve 
the balance of my time.
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to close, and I yield myself 
the balance of my time.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank everyone involved with this really wonderful 
moment that we are experiencing here on the floor, not only in memory 
of Jackie Walorski but in the work that she put in and how much was 
accomplished here, especially in a bipartisan fashion on behalf of so 
many people across America that are going to benefit from this great 
program--the mothers and the children, especially.
  I take a moment to thank Jackie's husband, Dean, who shared Jackie 
with us here in the House of Representatives, where she was able to do 
so much good work, and this being one of the very highlights of her 
career. It spoke so much about who she was and who she is.
  This is a special moment for me, as I know my friend Dr. Owens in 
Cincinnati--who took care of so many mothers that benefit from this 
program--is being laid to rest today, and he was so proud of what we 
were doing with this program. Well, he is with Jackie now. But we are 
all blessed to have had so much hard work put into this across the 
aisle.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Davis, who worked tirelessly on this, 
as well. This was definitely a dual effort, and I am grateful for all 
those who have participated, to the entire community, the Committee on 
Ways and Means, the subcommittee, and to all those involved.

[[Page H8720]]

  I am very proud that we are moving this bill forward today. I urge 
its reauthorization and encourage all of our Members to support this 
wonderful program.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the 
balance of my time.
  Let me, first of all, thank Dr. Wenstrup for his leadership. And I 
also thank all of those who have spoken to the virtues of the bill as 
well as the virtues of Jackie Walorski.
  I was able to attend her homegoing services, and I can assure you if 
you were in Mishawaka or South Bend, Indiana, you would hear the same 
words that have been spoken here today. She was indeed an amazing 
woman.
  Mr. Speaker, before I close, I would mention another amazing woman 
who has been legendary and become legendary in this institution, and 
that is our dearly beloved Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, who has led this body 
for a number of years. And I think that this can indeed be one of its 
proudest moments.
  Mr. Speaker, I close by quoting Erika Beck, who receives home 
visiting services in Chicago. At one of the hearings Jackie and I held, 
Ms. Beck said, ``I know that our lives are changed forever and for the 
better because of Myia, our home visitor. She is helping me and Louis, 
my husband, help our kids succeed, and she is educating all of us.''
  Such is the feeling of those who receive these valuable services.
  Mr. Speaker, I also take this opportunity to thank all of the 
organizations and individuals who have joined our fight to continue and 
expand home visiting.
  I thank the bipartisan Committee on Ways and Means staff: Staff 
director Morna Miller, Taylor Downs, Cheryl Vincent, and Andrew 
Gradison.
  I also thank the tremendous nonpartisan staff that my staff and I 
relied on so much throughout this process. Patrick Landers and Karen 
Lynch at the Congressional Research Service; James Grossman at the 
Office of Legislative Counsel, and Carolyn Ugolino at the Congressional 
Budget Office.
  Mr. Speaker, I also thank my legislative staff director, deputy chief 
of staff, Dr. Jill Hunter-Williams, who put in so much time, energy, 
and effort on this bill. I also thank all of us who worked with her.
  I have had some proud moments in this body, but I can tell you that 
there is no prouder moment that I have had than to be a force and to 
suggest when we vote for this bill, for this home visiting opportunity 
for thousands and thousands of children and mothers and families to 
experience the help that they need to become everything that America 
has the potential of helping them to be.
  Again, Mr. Speaker, it is an excellent piece of legislation. I urge 
its passage, and I yield back the balance of my time.
         
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 8876 The 
Jackie Walorski Maternal and Child Home Visiting Reauthorization Act of 
2022, which reauthorizes a modification and an increase in funding to 
the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program.
  Specifically, the Act would set requirements for allocating program 
funds, increase the percentage of funds reserved for tribal entities, 
establish a publicly available dashboard that reports program outcomes, 
and allows for vital home visits.
  Congresswoman Jackie Walorski, in whose honor this bill was named, 
was a champion for women, children, and families who inspired this 
pivotal piece of legislation.
  Her dedication and commitment to the health of children, families and 
future mothers will live on through the passage of the Jackie Walorski 
Maternal and Child Home Visiting Reauthorization Act.
  The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program 
supports pregnant people and parents with young children who live in 
communities that encounter greater risks and barriers to achieving 
positive maternal and child health outcomes.
  Home visits help communities and families through development of 
strong relationships and trust by meeting regularly and addressing 
family needs.
  These home visitors encourage early language development and early 
learning at home, teach positive parenting skills, help families set 
goals for the future, connect families to other services and resources 
in their community, and support future mothers by teaching healthy 
pregnancy practices.
  These tailored programs focus on empowering the wellbeing of families 
and children and help reduce crime and domestic violence at home, 
improve family economic self-sufficiency and improve maternal and 
newborn health.
  In the U.S., two-thirds of pregnancy related deaths are preventable 
and for every pregnancy-related death, there are 70 pregnancy-related 
near-death experiences.
  There is a severe gap in care that is contributing to these avoidable 
casualties. It's extremely important that we remove barriers in health 
care that may be contributing to these deaths.
  In comparison to other industrialized nations, the United States has 
been trending downward when it comes to maternal health, and the 
numbers continue to get worse.
  According to the World Health Organization, from 1990 to 2015 
maternal mortality rates increased by 16.7 percent in the United 
States.
  In the rest of the world maternal mortality decreased during that 
same period.
  In 2020, 861 women died of maternal causes in the U.S. That equates 
to 861 women who planned on living full, healthy lives and planned on 
being parents to the children they carried for 9 long months.
  That's 861 children who must grow up without their parent. That's 861 
families that are forever altered. That's a medical system and society 
that has failed 861 women.
  According to the American Medical Association, Black women are three 
to four times more likely to die from pregnancy and childbirth than 
white women.
  Black women across all socioeconomic statuses and education levels 
are more likely to experience maternal mortality than white women.
  H.R. 8876, the Jackie Walorski Maternal and Child Home Visiting 
Reauthorization Act is a first step to closing these inequitable gaps.
  Our dear friend, Congresswoman Walorski, made it her priority in 
Congress to fight for American women and children. Her spirit, along 
with those of her two dedicated aides who perished with tragically, are 
with us here today.
  The passage of H.R. 8876 is vital to the wellbeing, health, and 
safety of millions of mothers, children, and families across America 
who live in communities that endure greater risks and barriers to 
achieving positive maternal and child health outcomes.
  A timely five-year reauthorization before the end of this year is 
needed to minimize service interruption, staff losses, and disruption 
of local programs.
  I urge all of my colleagues to vote in favor of H.R. 8876, the Jackie 
Walorski Maternal and Child Home Visiting Reauthorization Act of 2022 
to help the millions of Americans who are most in need of this 
assistance.
