  (Mr. SHIMKUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SHIMKUS. I have come down to the floor just to remind my 
colleagues and you, Mr. Speaker, that if you go to jobs.gop.gov you 
will see a list of 25 bills that have been passed in this Chamber to do 
a couple of things: to boost competitiveness in the manufacturing 
sector; encouraging entrepreneurship in government; to help pay down 
our debt; and my favorite is maximizing American energy production. 
Yes, using American energy and our resources to create jobs, like the 
Keystone XL pipeline. We passed numerous bills to move the Keystone XL 
pipeline, 20,000 immediate jobs.
  Mr. Speaker, you can go to jobs.gop.gov to check the 25 different 
bills that we have passed in this Chamber. We have done our work. We 
will continue to do our work. Obviously, we need the other Chamber to 
be somewhat functional and at least consider these bills and then move 
to conference, which is how a bill becomes a law.
