RECOGNIZING CHILDREN'S WEEK
(Mr. LANDSMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LANDSMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Children's Week
celebrated by First Focus on Children, a bipartisan group dedicated to
serving children here in the United States and abroad.
Every decision that we make on the floor of the House has an impact
on our children, from education to healthcare to the economy.
When we pass legislation to expand the child tax credit, we
drastically reduce child poverty.
When we pass our bill to cap the cost of insulin for children, we
keep hundreds of thousands of children healthy without their families
going broke.
When we continue our work on bills to make childcare, housing, and
food more affordable, we are making life just a little bit easier for
our children and families.
Giving our children a voice in legislation means taking
responsibility for their success. What could be more important?
We must do more. Every week should be Children's Week.
