                         GETTING TOUGH ON CHINA

  (Mr. MICHAUD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MICHAUD. Mr. Speaker, there's a lot of finger-pointing in 
Washington these days about who is blocking our economic recovery, but 
there's plenty of blame to go around on both sides of the aisle.
  China is literally robbing us of our factories and our manufacturing 
jobs, and we haven't done a thing about it. The House must consider the 
Senate currency bill immediately, and the President must finally 
deliver on his campaign promise and crack down on China 
administratively.
  Getting tough on China's currency manipulation would create, 
conservatively, 1 million jobs without costing the American people a 
penny. It's time to stop the excuses and end the partisan bickering. 
It's time for the President and the House leadership to go beyond 
rhetoric and get the tough job of China currency manipulation taken 
care of.
