HOUSE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
(Mr. GINGREY asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. GINGREY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to proudly reflect upon the
accomplishments of this Congress. As we head into the August district
work period, let us look back on all we have achieved for the American
people.
Under Republican leadership this House has passed legislation to
bolster our economy and prevent a tax increase on millions of
Americans, including small business owners, seniors, and families.
We have worked to pass a fiscally responsible budget. We have funded
the War on Terror, giving our servicemen and women the tools and
support they need to take the fight to the enemy. Equally important, we
have worked to secure this homeland.
We have passed legislation helping American families. We got tough on
child exploitation over the Internet and voted to increase funding and
resources to fight methamphetamine in all our communities. We have
passed legislation to protect our Pledge of Allegiance, to curb illegal
Internet gambling, and to protect our right to display the American
flag.
Mr. Speaker, the list goes on and on and on. This Congress is working
for the American people, and I ask that you join me in praising all
that we have accomplished.
