       PREVIEW OF UPCOMING SPECIAL ORDER REGARDING PNTR FOR CHINA

  (Mr. DREIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to inform my colleagues that after we 
get through the wonderful 5-minute special orders that people are going 
to be delivering here, I am going to take an hour or a good part of 
that 1-hour to talk about the single most important vote that will be 
casting this year, and that is whether or not we are going to pry open 
the markets with 1.3 billion consumers in the People's Republic of 
China so that our workers can export goods and services and other great 
things, including American values, into that very repressive society in 
the People's Republic of China.
  We have got a lot of very, very interesting things, so I want to 
encourage my colleagues who are here in the Chamber to stay because it 
is going to be a very, very enlightening special order that I plan to 
deliver.
