                       STANDING WITH AUTO WORKERS

  (Mr. LANDSMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LANDSMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of our workers, 
specifically our autoworkers. Right now, they are doing what many of us 
came here to do, which is to get wages up. They want to get their wages 
up. It is really important for this Congress to stand with them, not 
just for their families but for our economy.
  They work for companies, great American companies, that have made 
tens of billions of dollars in profit. If we allow the profit to just 
be concentrated among a few, our economy won't grow as fast. If we say 
to the hundreds of thousands of autoworkers, yes, you deserve a very 
big raise, that means that the spending power will be distributed in a 
way that will grow our economy much faster.
  I stand with our autoworkers. I believe in what they are doing, and I 
wish them the best luck as they continue to negotiate for better wages 
and better working conditions.
