  (Mr. FLEMING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FLEMING. Mr. Speaker, in the midst of the worst recession in over 
a generation, this administration continues to advance its job-killing 
climate agendas. For instance, the recent EPA endangerment finding is 
particularly disturbing.
  This reckless regulation lays the groundwork for a type of 
unlegislated, administrative cap-and-trade, which, without an effective 
tailoring rule limiting its application, could destroy nearly 3 million 
manufacturing jobs and could result in lost economic activity of $7 
trillion.
  During the State of the, Union we heard President Obama proclaim that 
job creation should be this country's main focus. Then why does he 
insist on attacking and destroying energy, finance and the health care 
sectors, killing jobs in the process?
  I urge the President to stay true to his word and to work with 
Republicans in order to advance commonsense ideas which will rein in 
government spending, which will cut our deficits and will restore the 
three top things this country wants the most--jobs, jobs, jobs.
