                    WORKING TOGETHER TO CREATE JOBS

  (Ms. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, last November I hosted a jobs fair in New 
York's Hudson Valley. A thousand local residents came to meet with 
nearly 40 local employers, all seeking work, of course, all offering 
work.
  At Christmas I was very happy to receive a card from one of our 
residents. She had found a job at our jobs fair. So the question I have 
as we approach the President's State of the Union tonight is: How can 
we multiply this story by 14 million? And I think we can do it if we 
work together, House and Senate and President, to free American 
enterprise to create jobs.
  Washington cannot regulate or tax us into growth, but we can work 
together to lift burdens and bring the Federal Government to the right 
size to serve, and not to suffocate, a strong and healthy economy.
  I stand ready to work with our colleagues to pursue this. It is 
simple common sense.
