                           EXPORT-IMPORT BANK

  (Mr. HINOJOSA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. HINOJOSA. Mr. Speaker, as of today, we have only 11 more 
legislative days to act in order to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank.
  Reauthorizing the Bank is common sense. Sadly, however, the opponents 
of the Bank are operating out of ideological fervor, not on facts. We 
should be here dealing with and solving real problems, not endangering 
American jobs with fantastical ideology.
  The truth of the matter is that the Bank is a vital free market 
economic engine for our manufacturers, for exporters, and job creators. 
Last year alone, the Bank financed $4 billion worth of exports in my 
home State of Texas, supporting thousands of hard-working Americans.
  We cannot and should not let the Bank expire. Let's put an end to 
this nonsense.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to vote in our House of Representatives on this 
issue.
