 CELEBRATING BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW AND IMPROVEMENTS TO PORT OF 
                                HOUSTON

  (Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, last week, we learned that the Port 
of Houston will receive more than $25 million in a grant to support 
critical infrastructure improvements.
  This funding will enhance export capacity, reduce emissions, and 
create good-paying jobs across the Houston region.
  This is more than just a grant. It is a commitment to the safety, 
sustainability, and economic strength of Houston and its surrounding 
communities.
  Mr. Speaker, this milestone was made possible by the bipartisan 
infrastructure law, which marked its third anniversary last week, for 
which I thank the President.
  When we passed that law, we responded to the call of Americans who 
were ready to get back to work. They were ready to invest in 
communities and neighborhoods all across the Nation. They were ready to 
build a better tomorrow.
  We are doing that in the greater Houston region. We are putting 
people over politics.
