                        PRESIDENT BIDEN'S BUDGET

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to support President Biden's new 
2024 budget proposal.
  This budget is just what the country needs to move forward. It 
includes caps on insulin payments to $35 for all Americans. It restores 
the enhanced child tax credit and provides up to $3,600 per family per 
child. It contains $4.5 billion for infrastructure projects. It has 
$700 million for the Hudson River tunnel and Gateway Program, and it 
includes $219 million to eliminate lead pipes from drinking water 
around the country.
  This budget represents strong leadership, and it supports investments 
in the future of American prosperity. I am proud to support President 
Biden's new budget.
  Now we need Speaker McCarthy to show the same responsibility and 
leadership with his budget proposal.
