                    VETERANS FAIR ECONOMIC TOWN HALL

  (Mr. WALBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WALBERG. Madam Speaker, last week, I had the pleasure of holding 
a veterans fair economic town hall and several general town halls 
across my district. Throughout the conversations I had with my 
constituents, I heard a growing concern about the increasing government 
intrusiveness, whether it is in the doctor's office, the classroom, or 
the economy.
  House Republicans understand that our constituents want government to 
work efficiently. We have offered real solutions that will grow good-
paying jobs and expand opportunity for all.
  In fact, we have already passed over 200 bills that will start 
helping people today but unfortunately are still collecting dust on 
Senator Harry Reid's desk. This includes bills that would lower health 
care costs and return choice back to patients, as well as expand 
domestic energy production to both create jobs and lower costs for 
consumers.
  It is time, Madam Speaker, for the Senate to join us in advancing 
real solutions. It is time to make life work better for all Americans.
