                           AMERICA'S SECURITY

  (Mrs. BLACKBURN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, as we come to the floor this morning, 
there is a common theme. It is all about America's security, from cell 
phones to ports to reauthorizing the PATRIOT Act. Our goal is to keep 
America secure and put the focus on America's security agenda, our 
economic security.
  And tomorrow we will have new numbers out, and we know they are going 
to be strong for our unemployment rates, for our productivity growth, 
for new jobs creation. We are looking forward to those announcements.
  This body continues to focus on the moral security of this great 
Nation: our retirement security; our energy security; and, yes, our 
national security. And I congratulate the Members of this body and 
thank our leadership for reauthorizing the PATRIOT Act this week. Our 
focus: keep America secure so that future generations have the 
opportunity to live those big dreams that today they dream.
