              FUNDING REQUESTS FOR OREGON'S FIFTH DISTRICT

  (Ms. BYNUM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BYNUM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the more than $36 
million in funding I have requested for Oregon's Fifth Congressional 
District.
  This money will strengthen our communities by investing in clean 
drinking water, education, childcare, public safety, and workforce 
development.
  In central Oregon alone, over $10 million will go toward expanding 
access to childcare, good-paying jobs, and wildfire preparedness.
  Across Oregon, these projects will make sure families, small 
businesses, and our children will have everything they need to survive 
and thrive because funding these projects builds on my work to support 
the next generation. The pillars of my K-30 agenda are education, jobs, 
and housing. These projects will unlock our ability to make progress on 
those key issues to set the next generation up for success.
  At the end of the day, Mr. Speaker, this is an investment in 
expanding opportunity and lowering costs for Oregonians. I will keep 
fighting in Congress to deliver real results back home.
