                SUPPORTING THE SAVE AMERICAN WORKERS ACT

  (Mr. MARCHANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MARCHANT. Madam Speaker, most people agree that a 40-hour 
workweek is considered the average for a full-time American worker. 
However, ObamaCare defines full-time employment as being only 30 hours 
a week. The legislation before us will restore the commonly held 40-
hour workweek standard.
  Unless we take action, many businesses in my district will reduce the 
hours of their employees or will be unable to hire new workers. This 
will hurt many hardworking Americans who want to work more to provide 
for their families but who will not be able to do so because of the 
changes in ObamaCare.
  Washington should not place barriers in front of job creation. 
Washington should not discourage people from working more to provide 
for their families or to further their careers. We can change this. I 
urge all of my colleagues to join me today in supporting the Save 
American Workers Act.
