[applause] ms. davis: the other thing that helped me move forward was planned parenthood. i had already had one unplanned pregnancy, and i made my choice of what i would do faced with that, but i knew very well because we were struggling with having two jobs and going to school, there was no way i could handle another child at that point in my life and a planned parenthood clinic on henderson street, fort worth texas, gave me my first access to contraceptive care and helped me plan if i would have a child, which i did. i showed up when i ran for public office as a person who understood those things, who stood in those shoes and brought with me the experiences that would instruct the things i would fight for, but most importantly, it brought me the ability to empathize, and it is fair to say that every person in this room understands deeply the meaning of the empathy. -- radical empathy. that is why you are here. because you have been through an experience, or know people who have been through an experienc

davis, clerk mills, and philip read. what is important to know about freedom's origins? ms. thompson: freedom is an allegory of liberty that went atop the the capitol dome in 1863 but had been underway for a long time before that. the statue was first designed by a sculptor who fought with -- who's boss was jefferson davis. the future president of the confederacy was the secretary of war and in charge of decorations for the capitol building and the sculptor thomas crawford gave him a sketch to say this is what i think that sculpture should look like. jefferson davis objected to the hat being worn. the hat is known as the liberty cap and has been known as a symbol of liberty since ancient rome. they would get that type of hat to newly freed slaves. so jefferson davis said no, this type of freedom is not appropriate for america. he wanted the sculpture of freedom to celebrate the lives of those who had been born free. he was fiercely defending the institution of slavery and did not want anyone to think about the possibility of emancipation, the possibility that those enslaved

ms. delauro: i oppose this en bloc amendment. davis-bacon is a pretty simple concept and a fair one. what does davis-bacon act do? it protects the government as well as workers in carrying out policy, the policy of paying a decent wage on government contracts. the davis-bacon act requires that workers enfederally funded construction projects be paid no less than the wages paid in the community for similar work. it requires that every contract for construction to which the federal government is a party in excess of $2,000 contain a provision defining the minimum wages paid to various classes of laborers and mechanics. the house has taken numerous votes on this issue and on every vote, this body has voted to maintain davis-bacon requirements. we should not attack working class, working people. men and women. who work every single day for a decent paycheck and their wages haven't been increased with the cost of inflation and we should defeat the amendment before us today and we should move on to more important matters. i urge all members to vote no. i reserve the balance of my time. the
