                       HOUSE REPUBLICAN JOBS PLAN

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, the Republicans have passed over 15 bills that 
would help create jobs and, in addition, ease the energy needs of this 
country. But where are those bills, and why is the President asking us 
to pass his jobs bill which almost no Democrats have signed on to? 
We've passed over 15 bills. They're stuck in the Senate. One Senator 
has described the Senate as moribund.
  Mr. Speaker, we can help create jobs in this country by empowering 
small businesses and reducing government barriers to job creation, 
fixing the Tax Code to help job creators, boost competitiveness for 
American manufacturers, encourage entrepreneurship and growth, maximize 
American energy production, and pay down America's unsustainable debt 
burden and start living within our means. People can find out more 
about our jobs program by going to jobs.gop.gov. I invite the American 
people to see what Republicans have presented to the Senate. Those 15 
bills should be passed.
