    HONORING THE LEGACY AND EXEMPLARY WORK OF CONGRESSWOMAN WALORSKI

  (Mr. MRVAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MRVAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in appreciation of the 
legislation approved by the House earlier this month, the Jackie 
Walorski Maternal and Child Home Visiting Reauthorization Act of 2022.
  My fellow Hoosier and impactful public servant at both the State and 
Federal level, was a champion for maternal, infant, and early childhood 
home visiting programs.
  These programs provide critical assistance to pregnant women and 
parents with young children who face barriers to achieving positive, 
maternal, and child health outcomes.
  I appreciate that the legislation provides increased funding and 
direction for services that will assist more families with in-home 
support and initiatives to decrease child abuse and neglect.
  I look forward to continuing to work with all of my colleagues in a 
bipartisan fashion to complete this legislation and honor the legacy 
and exemplary work of Congresswoman Walorski.
