                    AMERICA IS FULL OF OPPORTUNITIES

  (Mr. FOLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FOLEY. Mr. Speaker, in picking up the USA Today's money section: 
``Economy: Good News, Prices Tame, Jobless Claims Down.'' Coca-Cola's 
earnings up 12 percent. IBM earnings rise 3 percent, will add jobs. 
Apple swings to a quarterly profit based on back-to-school sales. Intel 
sees quarterly profits soar. Harley Davidson cruises to record profits.
  These are as a result of this administration and this Congress's 
passing tax relief for American families. The Committee on Ways and 
Means will be considering additional tax relief for corporations to 
keep domestic employment higher than it is currently to save jobs in 
America.
  Now, despite the pessimism you have heard from the nine Presidential 
candidates on the other side of the aisle, we are winning the war both 
in the economy and we are winning the war in Iraq. I wish the nine 
people running for the high office of President would be more 
supportive of this administration, more supportive of our troops in 
Iraq, and more supportive of the economy.
  America's best days are yet ahead, not behind us; but the other side 
would lead you to believe the worst is yet to come. Let us be positive. 
Let us be optimistic. This is a great Nation. We have great 
opportunities.
