                    VOTE FOR UNFUNDED MANDATES BILL

  (Mr. CHRYSLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CHRYSLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge the Members to vote 
for the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. This measure would dramatically 
alleviate the devastating impact Federal mandates have levied on the 
States for decades. Additionally, we must protect the private sector 
from overbearing mandates and regulations. This measure will show the 
American people that this congress is providing real leadership and is 
sincere in this efforts to create a streamlined and more efficient and 
responsible Federal Government.
  Coming from the great State of Michigan, one of America's strongest 
industrial and agricultural communities, I have seen how such mandates 
and Federal regulations often result in lost jobs or impede job 
creation.
  The effects Federal mandates have on the private sector are no less 
devastating and should be analyzed on equal levels as those affecting 
States and local governments.
