               FINALIZING FISCAL YEAR 2023 APPROPRIATIONS

  (Mr. MRVAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MRVAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to encourage all of my 
colleagues to continue the work with all urgency to finalize the 
pending fiscal year 2023 appropriations measures.
  Notably, for Indiana's First Congressional District, I would 
highlight the vital importance of the community-funded projects 
included in these measures that will grow the northwest economy. For 
example, I am grateful for the inclusion of specific funds that will 
support economic development at the Michigan City Harbor, construction 
for improvements to Central Avenue in Portage, and the expansion of 
cargo operations at the Gary/Chicago International Airport.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to continue to prioritize 
completing this necessary work so that we can support economic growth 
and job creation in northwest Indiana and communities throughout our 
Nation.
