         SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS PAID TO THOSE WHO DESERVE IT

  (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 talk about our retired 
teachers, police officers, firefighters, letter carriers, and nurses, 
and the fact that, for decades, Congress has kept or stolen the Social 
Security benefits that they paid for and earned but have yet to 
receive.
  The Social Security Fairness Act will fix this. Millions of retired 
public servants will get their benefits each and every month moving 
forward.
  This bipartisan effort is the most cosponsored bill in this 118th 
Congress. Yesterday, we hit a major milestone with 218 signatures on a 
discharge petition, forcing a vote on the Social Security Fairness Act.
  Mr. Speaker, I am ready to vote ``yes'' when this bill comes to the 
floor. Let's get it done.
