On the recordMarch 10, 2021
I thank the gentleman for yielding. This act is big and bold, and it begins to keep our promise to Build Back Better. This is a historic bill, a policy revolution.

It means a shot in the arm, returning kids to school safely, and more people back in jobs. My constituents in Philadelphia feel it is needed now.
