                     MARCHING AT THE CLIMATE SUMMIT

  (Mr. KHANNA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KHANNA. Mr. Speaker, yesterday before the climate summit at the 
U.N., tens of thousands of people marched.
  I want them to know that some of us in this building hear you, we see 
you, and we understand your demand for urgent action.
  We have seen in my State the wildfires in California. We have seen 
the flooding in New Hampshire and Vermont. We have seen the hottest 
summers recorded, and we have seen the smoke-filled air.
  We need this President to declare a climate emergency. We need to 
stop the export of our oil to other countries.
  We need to stop subsidizing fossil fuel companies. We need this 
President to keep his promise of no new drilling on public lands. That 
means no to the Willow project.
  We need to stand with the UAW workers who are building EVs to make 
sure they have a fair wage.
  Thank you to Gen-Z for Change. Thank you to Sunrise. Thank you to 
Climate Defiance. Thank you to all of the groups who are marching.
