               MR. OBAMA, PULL DOWN THAT HEALTH CARE BILL

  (Mr. HALL of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. HALL of Texas. Mr. Speaker, as we approach President Ronald 
Reagan's birthday, I remember very well 22 years ago when he thought 
our country was threatened by Russia and the future of our children and 
their children was in danger of being imperiled. He stood at the 
Brandenburg Gate in Germany, shook his fist at Russia and said, ``Mr. 
Gorbachev, tear down this wall.''
  We honor in a few days in my Fourth Congressional District and all 
across the land the man who said, Tear down this wall. Today I say to 
the leader of another country, our country, Mr. Obama, your health bill 
and your 34 czars: Tear down that wall that separates you from the 
American people. Pull down your health bill and start over. The people 
have spoken. We need jobs, not bribes and broken promises. Pull down 
that bill. Pull down that bill. Pull down that bill. Pull down that 
broken health bill.
