ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF REPUBLICAN-LED CONGRESS TO DATE
(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, as we head home for the Memorial
Day recess this weekend, let us take a look at all of the
accomplishments of our Republican-led Congress so far this year:
bankruptcy reform, class action fairness, REAL ID Act with immigration
reform, permanent repeal of the death tax, continuity of government,
comprehensive energy policy, and many others that I would like to list,

common-sense, good government legislation. Constituents will appreciate
the fact that Republicans are listening to their concerns and taking
positive, productive steps to reach solutions.
There is much work to do, and we are methodically getting that work
done. It may not be flashy, but it is responsibility in action, and
Americans appreciate this. Republicans will continue to tackle the
tough issues of the day rather than pass the buck on to future
generations. Americans may not read about it in their newspapers or
hear about it on the nightly news; however, solutions are happening
here and now.
Mr. Speaker, success is defined in terms of solutions, not in terms
of rhetoric, and solutions are what Republicans are bringing to the
American people.
