                           LEGISLATIVE AGENDA

  (Ms. TITUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. TITUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak out against the 
misguided priorities that are driving the GOP's obstruct, repeal, and 
repeat agenda, and

to call instead for a new policy that addresses the serious challenges 
our Nation faces.
  When we adjourn tomorrow, Republican leadership will leave behind a 
staggering record of unfinished business and partisan messaging bills 
that put politics ahead of the American people's priorities. Since 
January, Republicans have not even allowed a vote on a real jobs bill. 
They haven't finished a budget, passed comprehensive immigration 
reform, restored funding on nutrition programs, or fixed the sequester.
  Their aversion to meaningful action is undermining the important 
economic progress we've made. It's keeping 11 million undocumented 
immigrants in the shadows, and it's disproportionately harming low-
income women and families. Hopefully they will see the light during the 
August recess and put aside the obstruct, repeal, and repeat agenda and 
set a new one that answers the public's outcry for action.
