                              JUSTICE ACT

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, yesterday, I gave the details of 
historic police reform that passed unanimously in both houses of the 
Republican-controlled legislature. Surely, if Democrats in Iowa can 
work with Republicans to find unanimity, we shouldn't have any problems 
here in the U.S. Congress passing something unanimously as well. Let's 
not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
  This morning, Senate Majority Leader McConnell, Senator Tim Scott, 
and other Members of the Republican task force unveiled a piece of 
legislation that goes by the title of Just and Unifying Solutions to 
Invigorate Communities Everywhere, or the acronym JUSTICE, for short.
  I applaud their leadership on this issue. Democrats should stop 
partisan attacks and instead spend their time with us working together 
to find solutions. It is pretty simple for me. If the Iowa legislature 
can do it in a bipartisan and unanimous way, we can do it here as well
