              HOUSE HAS ACTED, OTHERS ON THE HILL HAVE NOT

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, there is much that my friend from 
Wisconsin had to say with which I agree. Now let us get to the rest of 
the story.
  My friend from Indiana made it clear: On April 24, this House, the 
Republican majority, with 119 of our friends across the aisle in the 
Democratic Party, a strong bipartisan majority, came together to 
reaffirm accounting reforms, investor transparency, and to end the 
deception.
  Mr. Speaker, I am aware that we cannot characterize action or 
inaction on the part of the other body, so, Mr. Speaker, let me say it 
this way: What are some on this Hill waiting for?
  The President made it clear yesterday, Mr. Speaker. Whether an 
individual sits in a board room or is a common street thug, if they try 
to rob an American citizen, they will be convicted by a jury of their 
peers and they will go to jail.
  Mr. Speaker, we put the robber barons of the 21st century on notice 
today that we will not stand for fraud and deception and deceit and 
theft from the American people. The House has acted, others on this 
Hill need to follow suit.
