                        CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

  (Mr. CARDIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARDIN. Mr. Speaker, the time is right for this body to act on 
corporate accountability. The other body got it right when it passed 
the Sarbanes bill by a unanimous vote.
  Corporate greed is affecting every one of our constituents, whether 
it is in their 401(k) plans or the performance of our economy, with job 
opportunity, and the list goes on and on.
  Mr. Speaker, let us act now. Let us act as the other body did, in a 
bipartisan way. Let us take up today and pass the Sarbanes bill, and 
let us send it to the President. He has indicated he will sign it. That 
will help restore confidence among our constituents and our economy.
