               CALLING FOR SUPPORT OF JOBS CREATION BILL

  (Mr. PENCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, Indiana has lost more manufacturing jobs than 
any State in the Union. So today I rise to enthusiastically support 
congressional action on the American Jobs Creation Act. Thanks to 
impending sanctions by the WTO, Congress will today cut the corporate 
tax rate from 35 to 33 percent, provide $4 billion in relief for AMT, 
also known as the antimanufacturing tax, and reform the Tax Code to 
reduce double taxation on U.S. manufacturers that export and do 
business overseas like so many Indiana companies do.
  1.4 million new jobs since last fall is a good start, but let us rev 
up the engine of the American economy, especially American 
manufacturers, and create good-paying American jobs by passing today 
the American Jobs Creation Act.
