Mr. COHEN. Madam Speaker, we were here until about 12:15 this morning trying to work out the votes for a rule to move America forward. I hope we have them. We will find out soon.

We are trying to get the Build Back Better bill passed, the resolution to provide the opportunity for us to have that bill come forward, and the infrastructure bill as well. They will provide for needed infrastructure for American companies, businesses, and families; child care tax credits to be made permanent; prescription drug costs to be reduced; water lines improved and corrected; wastewater, which was so inadequate in Tennessee, where we had dozens die from floods.

Hopefully, we will get this passed, it is important business. I thank Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer for their long hours and their work in trying to build back America better.
