                          R&D TAX CREDIT BILL

  (Mr. BOCCIERI asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOCCIERI. Madam Speaker, the American people have asked this 
Congress for solutions to act quickly in a bipartisan fashion and to 
get our economy moving again.
  As a freshman Member, I'm happy to report that I have teamed up with 
a Republican colleague from Buffalo, New York, Chris Lee, to get our 
economy moving again. We know how many manufacturing jobs have been 
lost in the Midwest. So our bill would help empower the vision and 
innovation that has made this country so great by providing incentives 
for companies in America to do research and developments right here and 
give them a bonus if they are going to conduct those research and 
developments right here in America.
  We have an opportunity to move this economy forward. We need to 
become not the movers of wealth but the producers of wealth. If we 
produce things here in America, we can make America continue on its 
path towards greatness.
