Statement by President Joe Biden on House Passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act

"The United States House of Representatives passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, a once-in-generation bipartisan infrastructure bill that will create millions of jobs, turn the climate crisis into an opportunity, and put us on a path to win the economic competition for the 21st Century," stated President Biden. "It will make high-speed internet affordable and available everywhere in America." The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal will deliver $65 billion to help ensure that every American has access to reliable high-speed internet through a historic investment in broadband infrastructure deployment. The legislation will help lower prices for internet service and help close the digital divide, so that more Americans can afford internet access. "I’m also proud that a rule was voted on that will allow for passage of my Build Back Better Act in the House of Representatives the week of November 15," said Biden. "I look forward to signing both of these bills into law."
