                JEEP STELLANTIS' REINVESTMENT IN AMERICA

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I can hear the cheers rising in Toledo, 
Ohio, the 100-year legacy home of Jeep, of Jeep Wrangler, Jeep 
Gladiator. And I can hear the cheers coming from Shawn Fain, the 
President of the United Autoworkers Nationwide; and regionally, Bruce 
Baumhower, the Local 12 president; Dave Green, the regional leader of 
Region 2B; and Tony Totty, the president of Local 14.
  This afternoon, Chairman John Elkann from Jeep Stellantis announced 
plans by Jeep Stellantis to reinvest in industrial America. In Toledo, 
Ohio, they will invest in order to produce--and I am reading directly 
from his remarks--taking, ``product actions for Jeep Wrangler and Jeep 
Gladiator in our Toledo assembly complex, and more components critical 
to our production in the Toledo machining plant.''
  This means jobs, living-wage jobs, jobs with retirement benefits, 
jobs in the middle class. He also announced in Belvidere, Illinois; 
Detroit, Michigan; and Kokomo, Indiana similar investments.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank the leaders of Jeep Stellantis and their union 
workers for keeping their word to America's workers. God bless them, 
and God bless America.
