                        WHITE HOUSE JOBS SUMMIT

  (Mr. PENCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PENCE. Today, in the midst of a harsh recession, the President 
will convene a jobs summit at the White House. Coming nearly 1 year 
after the passage of the so-called ``stimulus'' bill that Speaker 
Pelosi said was about jobs, jobs, jobs, unemployment remains at record 
levels in this country.
  Today's White House jobs summit is a tacit admission that the 
economic policies of this administration and this Congress have failed. 
But, Mr. Speaker, we can bring America back by applying fiscal 
discipline here in Washington, D.C., and giving the American people 
fast-acting tax relief for working families, small businesses, and 
family farms.
  Jack Kemp said years ago, There is a wisdom and intelligence in 
ordinary men and women far superior to the experts. Well, let's heed 
that wisdom and intelligence of ordinary Americans. Let's reject the 
politics of borrowing and spending and bailouts. Let's embrace what has 
always worked. And let's bring America back with fiscal discipline and 
tax relief today.
