(Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, President Obama was in my home State of
Pennsylvania recently to tour a business and talk about the importance
of American manufacturing.
If the President is serious, let me give him a few suggestions on
things he can do right now--call for the quick passage of the Made in
America Act to establish an official American-made standard; announce
his support for a bipartisan plan to address the skills gap; use his
pen to approve the Keystone XL pipeline; and truly take steps towards
an all-of-the-above American energy policy that drives down energy
costs for everyone; and increase pressure on the Senate to move on the
dozens of House-passed jobs bills that will grow our economy, increase
stability, and empower businesses and employees.
Mr. Speaker, simply put, Americans are tired of talk. Now is the time
for bold action to help manufacturers, working families, and our
Nation--politics aside.
