                             FOR THE PEOPLE

  (Mr. CARTWRIGHT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Madam Speaker, don't let anybody tell you that all we 
do here in the House of Representatives is investigate the White House. 
We have passed 275-plus bipartisan bills for the good of the people.
  For hardworking families, we have passed legislation to increase 
wages and protect pensions.
  For American women, we have passed legislation to promote personal 
security and ensure equal pay for equal work.
  For American communities, we have passed legislation to improve 
public safety by strengthening background checks.
  And for our American veterans, we have passed legislation to improve 
transition assistance and access to mental healthcare.
  Rather than govern, Senate Republicans have chosen to play politics. 
This Congress, they have refused to consider more than 275 House-passed 
bipartisan bills. Those are bills that have Republican support sitting 
on the desk of the Senate leader not being passed.
  Madam Speaker, I remind Senate Republicans: Do your job. Let's govern 
wisely and get these bills passed.
