By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 403 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 403 Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to…

The Chinook is critical to the Army, to my district, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, our adjoining neighbors...

I was so glad to hear and would second Congressman Welch's discussion about the burn pits.

We need additional funding for the food banks.

I represent Philadelphia, which is the poorest of our large cities.

As we work to rebuild our economy, it's essential to connect workers with opportunities that give them access to the critical skills and high-paying jobs of the future, not the past.

Investing in education is a crucial piece of our Nation's recovery from the pandemic, as well as a necessary foundation for our children's future.

I send to the desk a resolution and ask unanimous consent for its immediate consideration in the House. The Clerk read the title of the resolution. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Jacobs of California). Is there objection to the request of…

I know that some of these issues may be beyond your committee's jurisdiction, but I ask that you please continue working with the other committees to ensure that the American Jobs Plan meets the ambitious goals set by President Biden.

We cannot afford to limit our conversations on infrastructure to roads and bridges. Social infrastructure must be part of any bill we move forward if we are to maintain America's competitiveness in the global economy.

The possibilities for our country are endless. We need only the imagination to realize these ambitious goals.

We need funding for backlogs, new projects, climate change mitigation, and road safety.

With the right amount of funding, and with the commitment of forward-thinking and long-term investments, we can provide the foundation for robust economic growth in the 21st century.

This lack of funding is unsustainable, and that is why it is so important for Congress to get these infrastructure bills right.

We are hoping that our State legislature in Pennsylvania will listen to the election officials

We were grateful that in 2019 a bipartisan effort between our Republican legislature and our Democratic Governor had expanded access to the ballot by allowing no excuse mail-in voting for the first time.

Our 2020 elections saw an unprecedented number of voters cast their ballots on or before Election Day, often using mail-in ballots.

It is time we encourage people to vote, rather than continuing to erect barriers that seek to suppress the votes and voices of communities.

States are responding to Americans' participation in democracy by moving to curtail access, introducing suppressive voting legislation at an alarming rate.

Congress cannot allow the access voters have to be rolled back yet again.

It is our duty as elected Members of Congress to uphold and defend the Constitution and to protect the rights of every single voter in this country.

Since coming to Congress, just in the last two years, I have seen two juvenile detention centers in my district close after widespread abuse of the children who had been housed there.

I am particularly concerned about how pretrial practices impact juveniles in our criminal justice system.

This week, I was so proud to welcome President Joe Biden to our district to see firsthand the impact the American Rescue Plan will have on our community and small businesses in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and to see the enthusiasm with…

I thank Representative Lawrence for bringing us together for this Special Order hour. In honor of Women's History Month, I rise to celebrate the League of Women Voters nonpartisan work to encourage active and informed participation in our…
