                       WE HAVE NOT DONE OUR WORK

  (Mr. LEWIS of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks).
  Mr. LEWIS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, we have not done our work. The 
Republican-controlled Congress has not finished its work.
  Where is the Patients' Bill of Rights?
  Where is the prescription drug benefit?
  Where is the minimum wage legislation?
  Where are the 100,000 new teachers?
  Where is the new school construction?
  Where is the juvenile justice bill?
  The majority party has not done its work. We have not been fair to 
the American people. They deserve better. They need our help and 
Congress has done nothing. We are nearing the end of another do-nothing 
Congress that has not done anything for the American people.
  We should be ashamed to leave this place, ashamed to end this 
Congress until we finish the people's agenda.
