                    JOBS BILLS STYMIED IN THE SENATE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Marino) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. MARINO. Madam Speaker, earlier this week, our friends on the 
other side of the Capitol, the Democrats, burned the midnight oil in a 
strange effort to call attention to global warming. Unfortunately, for 
some of our friends in the Senate, hot air from the Chamber will not 
bring down the temperature in our atmosphere.
  Instead of stoking the rhetorical flames through hours of meaningless 
grandstanding, I hope the Democrat Senate will use some of its time to 
hotline the critical job-creating bills that have been put on ice on 
Harry Reid's desk.
  Madam Speaker, our constituents don't want to be left out in the 
cold. We need action today on bills to create jobs.
  Madam Speaker, I hope Members of this body will join me and hold the 
Democrat Senate's feet to the fire by calling on them to pass bills 
that will refire America's economic engine.
