              A YEAR AGO THE PANDEMIC CHANGED OUR COUNTRY

  (Mr. BROWN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BROWN. Mr. Speaker, a year ago, this pandemic changed our
country; and during this year, more than 525,000 Americans have died
from the virus, including 7,800 Marylanders. Too many jobs have been
lost, too many families are struggling, and too many businesses have
shuttered.
  The American Rescue Plan provides a lifeline for our country. The
average family of four in my district will receive approximately
$10,000 of direct assistance. With another round of stimulus checks and
the expansion of the child tax credit, we will get families back on
their feet and cut child poverty in half.
  The American Recuse Plan will also aid our communities during this
crisis, funding that will expand vaccinations, especially in Black and
Brown communities; money to help safely open schools; and assistance to
keep teachers, transit workers, and other public servants on the job.
  This unprecedented crisis calls on us to meet the moment with
decisive action. Mr. Speaker, the American Rescue Plan is that decisive
action.
