Mr. EVANS. Madam Speaker, I proudly rise in strong support of this bill. We have to pay our bills and uphold the full faith and credit of the United States. My constituents in Philadelphia don't get a choice. They have to pay their bills. Congress must do the same.

We are working together to finalize legislation to advance the Build Back Better agenda that we share with President Biden. As we do that, we must remember we are elected to govern. Let me repeat that. We are elected to govern.

Yes, the Senate needs to act, but we also must be responsible in this House. We are responsible for protecting the recovering economy against the threat of severe financial damage. This will clear the way to focus on bold opportunities to support American families.

Madam Speaker, I call on my colleagues to act responsibly and join me by voting ``yes'', ``yes'' to avoid the first-ever default in the Nation's debt.
