Mr. Speaker, Democrats today will make good on a promise to deliver tax relief for American families. This bill expands the child tax credit for 16 million children, including 280,000 children in Alabama. The tax credit is one of the most effective antipoverty programs in the country and will, again, provide much-needed assistance to families throughout Alabama. This bill will also provide much-needed disaster tax relief to the families of the Black Belt, Dallas County, Hale County, Greene County, and Sumter County that fight to rebuild in the wake of last year's tornado. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to support this measure. {time} 1745
