madam speaker, dr. martin luther king once said, of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane. madam speaker, what was true in dr. king's time continues to be true in our own. communities of color have long experienced inadequate access to health care, housing, healthy food and economic opportunity. these inequalities,ment inly and working together, -- independently, and working together, increase the privileging lens of a host dangerous health condition -- prevalence of a host of dangerous health conditions, including diabetes, as ma, owe beats -- asthma, obesity, heart disease and high blood pressure. one of the most shocking examples of health inequity is our nation's maternal and infant mortality crisis. infants born to black mothers are nearly twice as likely to die compared to those born to white mothers. continuing after birth, minority americans face far higher rates of illness and death from an array of conditions. and what does this lead to, you mi

madam speaker, this is huge. as the representative of a majority latino district, i was especially proud to learn there were record drops in latino and african-american unemployment rates. african-american unemployment fell by more than 30%. latino unemployment fell from nearly 9% to 4.4%, the fastest drop ever recorded. these are hardworking americans going back to work, putting food on the table, and earning good paychecks. this is building a better america. we've seen that when americans have job opportunities, great things happen. and they do. that is why we also saw the lowest number of home foreclosures ever recorded. we also witnessed a record low number of credit card delinquencies. but the american rescue plan isn't only helping adults. the historic tax credit benefits nearly 40 million families with 65 million children. i'll repeat that. 40 million families with 65 million children. madam speaker, in our own home state, the child tax credit benefits nearly seven million children, many in our area of hou

johnson: madam chairman -- madam speaker -- excuse me. one of the things we heard a number of times, the gentleman from rhode island suggested it, the gentlewoman from washington just said it, that if you go to arbitration, the company picks the arbitrators. that's not in fact correct. courts police the fundamental fairness of the arbitration process. if there is a process that's fundamentally unfair, the courts will modify it until it is fair. so that's a misconception. furthermore -- it's also been suggested you never have any opportunity -- it's been the -- whim of the arbitrator. that's what mr. cicilline say. it's erroneous. if an arbitrator rights a decision that manifests a disregard of the governing law like the soldier who had been in arbitration for eight years that he suggested, the courts will vacate, strike down that arbitration award. yet, it's important to know those premiseses before you decide what you do in this bill. with that, madam speaker, i yield two minutes to the gentleman from wisconsin, mr. fitzgerald. the speak

madam president, madam president? today's meeting is another attempt by kim authorities to condone -- kyiv authorities to condone artificial hysteria around what is happening in ukraine, and they are being assisted in this by their western backers. today, we have once again heard lies about how russian troops attacked the nuclear power plant. this is part of an unprecedented campaign of lies and disinformation against russia. you are trying to present the situation in such a way where the power plant was shelled by the military, as a result of which the fire broke out. the statements are untrue. the power plant and adjacent territories were taken by the russian army under its control back on february 28. as a result of negotiations with the management of the power plant, an agreement was reached to place it under the garden of the russian military. the goal is to prevent other terrorist forces from taking advantage of the current situation to argue -- organize a nuclear provocation. it is also to secure the station an

no, madam speaker. if we really want to win, we must unleash the full power of american energy and mineral development by processing permits, issuing leases, streamlining the regulatory process and giving our own homegrown industries the ability to use our american resources. we can and we will do that safer, cleaner, and faster than anyone else in the world. where china uses child and slave labor to mine minerals that are vital to batteries and computers, we can use sfait of the art -- state-of-the-art technology to access those minerals that are right here in the u.s. while russia controls oil rights and leverages it, we can produce energy for our own people and be a net exporter to our allies. we have no other option than to win. i urge my colleagues to give americans the power to develop, innovate, and unleash our full potential. democrats' strategies are proven. if you look around, they're proven to be losing strategies. america can't afford higher prices and more incompetence. let's begin to put a

thank you, madam president. mr. barrasso: madam president. the presiding officer: the senator from wyoming. mr. barrasso: thank you, madam president. madam president, russia continues to engage in ruthless and unprovoked attacks against a democrat and independent nation of ukraine. i strongly condemn russia's dangerous aggression against the people of ukraine. putin is responsible for the death and destruction in his wake, and he must be held accountable. the one sledgehammer we can use against putin is american energy resources. reducing the amount of russian energy going to europe would hurt russia's economy. the oil and gas revenues made up about 36% of russia's national budget last year. 2021 russia sold $100 billion worth of oil and natural gas to europe. russia is europe's main supplier of energy. the european union received over 40% of its gas imports from russia. russia also has significant ownership in europe's energy infrastructure, including pipelines, distribution centers, and storage facilities. with natural gas prices increasing

madam chair, we have one more caller in the queue. welcome, caller. your three minutes begins now. >> caller: good morning commissioners. my name is raffle remmington. i think without looking at all of the proposals for the ballot measure it's a naked and raw exercise of white supremacy. i also believe the focus should be on bribery. the past conversation about tickets or side shows and wholly not jermaine to the issues. no one has been arrested or accused of misusing tickets. this is in search of a problem. two comp tickets are the industry standard as well as promoting the healthy life for our keep in mind when we attend these events, we attend as professionals carrying our signs. the ballot measure will have a harmful impact on disenfranchised communities by limiting government access it feels like to commissioner bush's good faith comment, this is not an exercise of good faith and i think you need to examine that if we're going to make any progress. >> chairman: thank you. >> please stand by. we have one more caller in the queue. welcome, caller.
