                        GROWING JOBS IN AMERICA

  (Mr. SESSIONS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, just a few hours ago we had an opportunity 
to welcome the President of South Korea to this great body to listen to 
her words about how America, through not only our foreign policy but 
also with our United States military, helped South Korea to overcome 
the forces of Communism from the north and from China.
  We heard the President speak about the economic growth and vitality 
of her people, of the Korean people who want more and better friendship 
with America. But the underlying theme was economic freedom--freedom 
for her people, freedom for people to make their own decisions. This is 
consistent with the message that we heard from the last head of a 
foreign government speaker we had, from Mexico, who spoke about how 
Mexico is going to aim for GDP growth of 6 percent.
  Mr. Speaker, it is time that we here in America catch on to what our 
allies are doing all across the globe, and that is seeking economic 
freedom, economic growth, and jobs for all of their people. We should 
be doing the same thing in this country. Mr. Speaker, that's why the 
Republican Party is trying to grow jobs and make sure life is better 
for Americans now.
