                              PROJECT 2025

  (Ms. WATERS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. WATERS. Madam Speaker, in recent months there has been a lot of 
rhetoric around Project 2025, but many Americans still don't understand 
its very dangerous implications. Donald Trump's Project 2025 is a well-
funded Presidential transition plan which would empower a future 
antidemocratic Presidential administration to carry out an extreme 
power agenda.
  Therefore, if enacted, Project 2025 would eliminate the Department of 
Education and eliminate the Head Start education program which serves 1 
million children and further expose 386,000 children in foster care to 
risk of increased discrimination.
  If Republicans impose Trump's Project 2025, they will criminalize 
abortion nationwide and create a national monitor to track women's 
pregnancies and miscarriages. They are even threatening to imprison 
doctors and nurses who provide necessary care.
  Project 2025 is a strategic plan to cut overtime protections for 4.3 
million workers.
