LEGISLATIVE ACHIEVEMENT
(Mr. PRICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, it is hard to tell by reading the
front pages of papers across the country, but the House has been
racking up legislative accomplishments, one after another after
another, most of the times with growing bipartisan support.
Look at just a few of the accomplishments in the first 100 days of
this Congress.
Legal reform. The Class Action Fairness Act addresses the most
serious lawsuit abuse by allowing larger interstate class action cases
to be heard in Federal courts with a Consumer Class Action Bill of
Rights.
Border security and immigration reform. The REAL ID Act completes the
work of the 9/11 Commission recommendations by implementing reforms to
strengthen our border security and better protect our homeland.
The death tax repeal. The permanent repeal of the death tax ends the
unjust and unfair tax on millions.
Mr. Speaker, it is a great pleasure and a welcome sight to me to see
my colleagues on the other side of the aisle join us to do the people's
work. Let us continue that good work and tackle Social Security and tax
reform.
