        CALLING FOR THE RESIGNATION OF SECRETARY PETE BUTTIGIEG

  (Mr. COLLINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COLLINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to call for Secretary Pete 
Buttigieg to resign for failing to do his job. He has taken the 
Department of Transportation from efficient and effective to woke and 
divisive. Instead of keeping Americans safe, tackling supply chain 
challenges, and modernizing transportation systems, he is flying all 
over the country on private jets to talk about race and gender. Looks 
to me like he is campaigning for President on the taxpayers' dime.
  I know it sounds like I am being hard on the Secretary, but I do have 
some questions.
  He recently asked Congress for $20 million to buy female dummies to 
use in safety tests. How many total genders is he going to request for? 
We are already funding two dummies. Now, he is asking for a third. What 
is the total going to be? Forty? Fifty? This is a slippery slope.
  Secretary Pete needs to resign so someone else can take the wheel at 
the DOT. America needs fewer dummies, not more.
