                              A BETTER WAY

  (Mr. WESTERMAN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend my colleagues in 
the House for passing the Zika bill and sending it to the Senate, and I 
hope that the Senate Democrats will at sometime put that bill on the 
President's desk.
  Mr. Speaker, I also rise today as an advocate for ``A Better Way.'' 
This blueprint put forth by Speaker Ryan and my colleagues in the House 
Republican Conference is our vision for a more confident America.
  We have a framework that is a better way to free millions from 
poverty, a better way to make America strong and safe, a better way to 
create an environment for Americans of all walks to experience true 
economic growth and opportunity, a better way to govern by returning to 
the rule of law outlined in our Constitution, a better way to lead 
healthy and productive lives by replacing a failing ObamaCare with a 
healthcare system that works for the American people, and a better way 
to pay for essential government services by creating a simpler, fairer 
Tax Code.
  As we dream of an America with a future that outshines our blessed 
past, I urge my colleagues to embrace this vision, work to see its 
proposals implemented, and leave to our posterity evidence of our good 
stewardship of this most portentous responsibility.
