                            LET'S DO OUR JOB

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, let me pay tribute to the Congressional 
Black Caucus and the managers tonight for honoring Black History Month. 
I look forward to participating this month of February to honor the 
great history and excellence of African Americans.
  At this time, I call upon Speaker Johnson to do his work. There is a 
$60 billion bill that will help us fund the desperate people of 
Ukraine, Gaza, Israel, and Taiwan and be able to help the Palestinian 
families.
  It has already been voted on in the early hours of this morning from 
the Senate. Let the House do its job, do its will. Let us vote.
  Mr. Speaker, 300 of us will vote to push that legislation forward, 
yet tonight, we did a foolish thing, and that is to pass an impeachment 
of a very qualified and effective Secretary of Homeland Security.
  Do your job, Mr. Secretary. Do not be impacted, Secretary Mayorkas, 
by this false attempt to diminish you.
  Help us as we work toward making the border safe, and that is the way 
we do it, by doing our job, and also passing also the funding bill that 
has been put forward.
  I ask my colleagues: Let's do our job.
