                         CONTINUING RESOLUTION

  (Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, the Republican CR is another 
broken promise that will eliminate thousands of good paying jobs in 
construction, law enforcement, research, education, and public safety. 
This is just more of the same, and this turns us into a pink slip 
Nation. I believe that's what the goal of the Republicans is, and this 
bill will cost us jobs today, tomorrow, and in the future by failing to 
invest in our infrastructure and by failing to invest in education.
  Mr. Speaker, the mistakes the majority intends to make today will not 
be very easy to reverse, and I urge the majority to keep its promise to 
America, which is it's all about jobs.
