         PROTECT THE FULL FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE UNITED STATES

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, America must pay its bills 
and must not default. Failure to do so would trigger massive job loss, 
a recession, and rising costs.
  Congress must raise the debt limit, as previously done on a 
bipartisan basis. This cannot and should not fall on the backs of 
eastern North Carolinians, rural Americans, and the American people.
  Mr. Speaker, we must not engage in the politics of division and 
uncertainty. We must always protect the full faith and credit of the 
United States.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope we can come to a bipartisan resolution to deliver 
for eastern North Carolina and America.
